William F. Buckley Jr.
“Liberals claim to want to give a hearing to other views, but then are shocked and offended to discover that there are other views.”

C.S. Lewis

Thomas Jefferson
“On matters of style, swim with the current, on matters of principle, stand like a rock.”

Pat Conroy, Beach Music
