No one has ever loved anyone the way everyone wants to be loved.

Friends are proved by adversity.

Marcus Tullius Cicero

All was over in a moment. I had fulfilled my destiny. I was a captive and a slave. I loved Dora Spenlow to distraction! She was more than human to me. She was a Fairy, a Sylph, I don't know what she was - anything that no one ever saw, and everything that everybody ever wanted. I was swallowed up in an abyss of love in an instant. There was no pausing on the brink; no looking down, or looking back; I was gone, headlong, before I had sense to say a word to her.

Charles Dickens

Orson Pratt

The youth gets together his materials to build a bridge to the moon, or, perchance, a palace or temple on the earth, and, at length, the middle-aged man concludes to build a woodshed with them.

Henry David Thoreau

I look forward to the future - and going into the studio to make new music.

Diana Ross

The philosophic spirit of inquiry may be traced to brute curiosity, and that to the habit of examining all things in search of food.
