Photo Hunt: Flags

"Our great modern Republic.
May those who seek the blessings of its institutions
and the protection of its flag
remember the obligations they impose."

~ Ulysses S. Grant

I've shared this quote before, but it bears repeating...

"To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even to an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luXuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket-- safe, dark, motionless, airless--it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable."

~ C.S. Lewis, British scholar and novelist. 1898-1963

How different might things be, if love was less often kept under lock and key?
