Some perspicuous quotes from some very sharp women and men:
From Woody Allen, whose character is explaining why he persists in seeking out relationships: “It reminds me of that old joke — you know, a guy walks into a psychiatrist’s office and says, hey doc, my brother’s crazy! He thinks he’s a chicken. Then the doc says, why don’t you turn him in? Then the guy says, I would but I need the eggs. I guess that’s how I feel about relationships. They’re totally crazy, irrational, and absurd, but we keep going through it because we need the eggs.”
Joseph Addison (The Spectator Magazine): ”A happy marriage has in it all the pleasures of friendships, all the enjoyment of sense and reason – and indeed all the sweets of life. ”
The poet (once Poet Laureate of the United States), Robert Frost: ”Love is the irresistible desire to be desired irresistibly”
“He felt now that he was not simply close to her, but that he did not know where he ended and she began.” – Leo Tolstoy, “Anna Karenina”
“You complete me.” – Spoken by Tom Cruise in the movie Jerry Maguire
“Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.” – 1 Corinthians
“If you love until it hurts, there can be no more hurt — only more love.” Mother Teresa
Being deeply loved by someone may give you strength, but loving someone deeply is what gives you courage.
Lao Tzu
