“Truth is like the sun. You can shut it out for a time, but it ain’t goin’ away.”
“Don’t criticize what you don’t understand, son. You never walked in that man’s shoes.”
“Some people tap their feet, some people snap their fingers, and some people sway back and forth. I just sorta do ‘em all together, I guess.”
-Elvis
