Quote for January 28, 2012:

"Do you want me to tell you something really subversive. Love is everything it's cracked up to be. That's why people are so cynical about it. . . . It really is worth fighting for, being brave for, risking everything for. And the trouble is, if you don't risk anything, you risk even more."

Lee Iacocca
