Caution: Only Insightful Readers Allowed!
The following quotes are priceless for many reasons. Since the creator of this lens assumes the reader is an intelligent individual, he has decided to suppress his own judgment by not adding any comments. The beauty of each quotation is similar to that of a joke: explain it, and you will kill its internal humor. Just read it, think it, enjoy it and react. In this context, there is a clear distinction between your comments or reactions and the useless explaining just described.

"I have been as fair as possible in quoting Gov. Palin. I have used only sentences from her that make some sort of grammatical sense.
