"We welcome change and openness; for we believe that freedom and security go together, that the advance of human liberty can only strengthen the cause of world peace...General Secretary Gorbachev, if you seek peace, if you seek prosperity for the Soviet Union and eastern Europe, if you seek liberalization, come here to this gate. Mr. Gorbachev, open this gate. Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!" - Ronald Reagan (1987)

"When you were three years old, the Wall fell. I held you on my lap and cried for the triumph of freedom over the totalitarian state. We watched the news together for hours, you watched the Wall crumbling; grey and forbidding on the East, graffiti-covered on the West. We watched West Berliners reach over and through that wall and welcome East Berliners to freedom: just a step across an imaginary line, created in the mind of man and made real with concrete and barbed wire." - Mother (Mine)
