I believe in the compelling power of love. I do not understand it. I believe it to be the most fragrant blossom of all this thorny existence. – Theodore Dreiser
The mother-child relationship is paradoxical and, in a sense, tragic. It requires the most intense love on the mothers side, yet this very love must help the child grow away from the mother, and to become fully independent. – Erich Fromm
Love is the answer to everything. Its the only reason to do anything. If you dont write stories you love, youll never make it. If you dont write stories that other people love, youll never make it. – Ray Bradbury
Not every religion has to have St. Augustines attitude to sex. Why even in our culture marriages are celebrated in a church, everyone present knows what is going to happen that night, but that doesnt prevent it being a religious ceremony. – Ludwig Wittgenstein
All human situations have their inconveniences. We feel those of the present but neither see nor feel those of the future; and hence we often make troublesome changes without amendment, and frequently for the worse. – Benjamin Franklin
