some quotes[edit]
"I never submitted the whole system of my opinions to the creed of any party of men whatever, in religion, in philosophy, in politics, or in anything else, where I was capable of thinking for myself. Such an addiction is the last degradation of a free and moral agent. If I could not go to heaven but with a party, I would not go there at all." -- Thomas Jefferson, 1789[1]
"Little by little, the look of the country changes because of the men we admire." -- Homer Bannon (Melvyn Douglas). Hud. 1963
"People we vote for...they said, 'kick all the illegal aliens out of this country, then build a super-fence so they can't get back in.' And I went, 'Um...who's gonna build it?'" -- Carlos Mencia
"The ships hung in the sky in much the same way that bricks don't." -- Douglas Adams
