Quote chain from LyfLines

If you want a vision of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face - forever.
- George Orwell

- John Derbyshire

That one party can just impose the politically difficult but critically important policies needed to move a society forward in the 21st century.
- Thomas Friedman
