Anyone who loves in the expectation of being loved in return is wasting their time.

When people say perhaps it's cause they're lying. Either they don't believe the thing they're saying, or they do believe it only they don't want to admit they do.

Samuel Johnson

If a small thing has the power to make you angry, does that not indicate something about your size?

Sydney J. Harris

The challenge is to create a complete theory for every element of the physical reality.

Albert Einstein

The newest computer can merely compound, at speed, the oldest problem in the relations between human beings, and in the end the communicator will be confronted with the old problem, of what to say and how to say it.

Edward R. Murrow
