Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art, like the universe itself (for God did not need to create). It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things which give value to survival. p.71Affection is taken as the image when God is represented as our Father; Eros, when Christ is represented as the Bridegroom of the Church. p.78The little pockets of early Christians survived because they cared exclusively for the love of the brethren and stopped their ears to the opinion of the Pagan society all around them. p.70Friendship is even, if you like, angelic. But man needs to be triply protected by humility if he is to eat the bread of angels without risk. p.87

One of the surest evidences of friendship that one individual can display to another is telling him gently of a fault. If any other can excel it, it is listening to such a disclosure with gratitude, and amending the error.

Jenna Dewan

It should, it seems to me, be our pleasure and duty to make those people free, and let them deal with their own domestic questions in their own way. And so I am an anti-imperialist. I am opposed to having the eagle put its talons on any other land.

By its very nature the beautiful is isolated from everything else. From beauty no road leads to reality.

Hannah Arendt

There's a lot of people out there who go through hard times, and they feel alone. They feel like nobody is there. But I'm in the same boat.

Brandy Norwood

When it comes down to it, it's giving people a good night out in a basic way and I think my company guarantees that. There's always something new and something to excite us and surprise us, and that's why people come back, I hope.

It is pretty amazing. My parents, who came from Nicaragua to the U.S. - who would have thought that they would have American kids on the Olympic team? I think that's the epitome of the Olympic dream.

Once you're successful with a certain kind of music, it's hard not to have faith in it as a means to stay successful.
