Quotes about war
war moving america
In this new war, our enemy's platoons infiltrate our borders, quietly blending in with visiting tourists, students, and workers.

Ross believed in past lives. Moreover, he believed that the person you fell in love with in each life was the same person you fell in love with in the life before, and the one before that.

But would it? Since when has money saved by government red-lining been spent on education and cancer research? It is always squandered. Let’s squander some on Mars. Let’s go out and play. Mary Roach
