—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
“There’s something about Marxism that brings out warts—the only kind of growth this economic system encourages.”

It’s enduring and it’s everlasting. Nothing can change it. Nothing can change us, Ollie. That’s what I think love is.”
—Dewitt Bodeen (1908–1988)
