This is one of his favourite sayings, something he likes to shout out whenever he and I are moving in directions that take us apart. Curiously, he doesn't say it (or anything) when I'm dropping him at the daycare, he just runs off. But he yells it at the top of his lungs when I'm lying in bed with a migraine. Ah, little one.

rand()m quote

Society is indeed a contract... [the state] is a partnership in all science; a partnership in all art; a partnership in every virtue, and in all perfection. As the ends of such a partnership cannot be obtained in many generations, it becomes a partnership not only between those who are living, but between those who are living, those who are dead, and those who are to be born.

—Edmund Burke
