We are raised to believe (on the surface, at least) that us humans only have so much love to give, and that it comes in a standard round unit: one. After all, we associate love with the heart, and, well, you've either got a whole heart, or you're dead, period. You can't, common wisdom goes, just run around dividing that one heart up freely; to claim to do so means that you're either a fool, or you're dividing up something that is dead.

For me this world was neither so high nor so low as the Church would have it; chequered over with its wild light shadows, I could love it and all the children of it, more dearly, perhaps, because it was not all light.

James Anthony Froude

Give me beauty in the inward soul; may the outward and the inward man be at one.

Socrates

Anyone who doesn't believe in miracles is not a realist.

David BenGurion

We have what we seek. It is there all the time, and if we give it time it will make itself known to us.

Thomas Merton

Here's the thing about movies, all movies end up on television. That's their life. Whether you like it or not, I don't care how much money you spend on it, or how big or broad the film is, or who the actors are in it, eventually it's all coming out of the box.

Greg Kinnear

All serious conversations gravitate towards philosophy.

Ernest Dimnet, What We Live By

The GTO is such an important car because it's a racing car and a touring car and that's pretty unusual.

Nick Mason

Where there is no imagination there is no horror.

Arthur Conan Doyle

The desire of advising has a very extensive prevalence; and, since advice cannot be given but to those that will hear it, a patient listener is necessary to the accommodation of all those who desire to be confirmed in the opinion of their own wisdom: a patient listener, however, is not always to be had; the present age, whatever age is present, is so vitiated and disordered, that young people are readier to talk than to attend, and good counsel is only thrown away upon those who are full of their own perfections.

Samuel Johnson, July 21, 1753

Destiny has two ways of crushing us - by refusing our wishes and by fulfilling them.

Henri Frederic Amiel

When you're a lawyer, you expect your client to lie to you, but not when he is the president.

Dick Houser

Love in marriage should be the accomplishment of a beautiful dream, and not, as it too often is, the end.

Alphonse Karr
