It is impossible to think of Howard Hughes without seeing the apparently bottomless gulf between what we say we want and what we do want, between what we officially admire and secretly desire, between, in the largest sense, the people we marry and the people we love. In a nation which increasingly appears to prize social virtues, Howard Hughes remains not merely antisocial but grandly, brilliantly, surpassingly, asocial. He is the last private man, the dream we no longer admit.

Joan Didion

In every pang that rends the heart the Man of Sorrows has a part.

Michael Bruce

Friedrich Nietzsche

Charlize Theron

Your people eat dry and tasteless flesh but it is off plates as smooth as ivory and as round as the sun.

C.S. Lewis

This communicating of a man's self to his friend works two contrary effects for it redoubleth joys, and cutteth griefs in half.

Aristotle

In a strong relationship, you should love your companion more than you need them.

Steve Maraboli

We would rather speak badly of ourselves than not talk about ourselves at all.
