Unconditional love is not affirming another in every decision they make especially when those choices are unhealthy. Unconditional love will risk offending in the name of genuine concern. It will risk relationship for the ultimate well-being of the other. To indiscriminately affirm the unhealthy choices of others is not love at all but perhaps the worst kind of fraud.

How mankind defers from day to day the best it can do, and the most beautiful things it can enjoy, without thinking that every day may be the last one, and that lost time is lost eternity!

Max Muller

Those that marry for money sell their liberty.

Proverb

Oh God, God, why did you take such trouble to force this creature out of its shell if it is now doomed to crawl back -- to be sucked back -- into it?

C.S. Lewis

It must be something voluntary, something self induced - like getting drunk, or talking yourself into believing some piece of foolishness because it happens to be in the Scriptures. And then look at their idea of what's normal. Believe it or not, a normal human being is one who can have an orgasm and is adjusted to society. It's unimaginable! No question about what you do with your orgasms. No question about the quality of your feelings and thoughts and perceptions. And then what about the society you're supposed to be adjusted to? Is it a mad society or a sane one? And even if it's pretty sane, is it right that anybody should be completely adjusted to it?

Aldous Huxley

Just as humans have a prior right to existence over dogs by virtue of being more highly evolved and having a superior consciousness, so women have a prior right to existence over men. The elimination of any male is, therefore, a righteous and good act, an act highly beneficial to women as well as an act of mercy.

Valerie Solanis

We will not waver we will not tire we will not falter, and we will not fail. Peace and Freedom will prevail.

George W. Bush

A wreck on shore is a beacon at sea.

Proverb

As to conforming outwardly, and living your own life inwardly, I have not a very high opinion of that course.

Henry David Thoreau

As all error is meanness, it is incumbent on every man who consults his own dignity, to retract it as soon as he discovers it

Samuel Johnson

Dieting is murder on the road. Show me a man who travels and I'll show you one who eats.

Bruce Froemming

There is nothing in the world like a persuasive speech to fuddle the mental apparatus.

Mark Twain

It is no worse, because I write of it. It would be no better, if I stopped my most unwilling hand. Nothing can undo it; nothing can make it otherwise than as it was.

Charles Dickens
