“It has been obvious all along, to anyone paying attention, that the politicians shouting loudest about deficits are actually using deficit hysteria as a cover story for their real agenda, which is top-down class warfare.

But most of all, I learned that life is about sitting on benches next to ancient creeks with my hand on her knee and sometimes, on good days, for falling in love.” LifeShouldChildrenLittlesSometimesDreamHandsLife IsFallNextAnimalTalkingFlowerOne DayFindingsSittingFalling In LoveAncientObviousKneesEach DayCollectionsSunsetBreezeGood DayBenchesRefreshingOne Day At A TimeCreeksSitting On The Bench Author:Nicholas Sparks
