That love is reverence, and worship, and glory, and the upward glance. Not a bandage for dirty sores. But they don't know it. Those who speak of love most promiscuously are the ones who've never felt it. They make some sort of feeble stew out of sympathy, compassion, comtempt, and general indiference, and they call it love. Once you've felt what it means to love as you and I know it - the total passion for the total height - you are unable of anything else.

Ayn Rand

I'd rather be right than President.

Henry Clay

As children we recognized that we belonged to an unusual, even exceptional, family, but the effect was different on each of us.
