You know that when I hate you, it is because I love you to a point of passion that unhinges my soul.

Julie de Lespinasse

Whatever the universal nature assigns to any man at any time is for the good of that man at that time.

Marcus Aurelius

Helping people in need is a good and essential part of my life, a kind of destiny.

Princess of Wales Diana

Love is a smoke made with the fume of sighs. Being purged, a fire sparkling in lovers eyes. Being vexed, a sea nourished with lovers tears. What is it else? A madness most discreet, a choking gall and a preserving sweet.

William Shakespeare

Werner Heisenberg

No matter how well you perform there's always somebody of intelligent opinion who thinks it's lousy.
