"The Bible tells us to love our neighbors, and also to love our enemies; probably because they are generally the same people." "Marriage is a duel to the death which no man of honour should decline." "Art, like morality, consists in drawing the line somewhere." "Tradition means giving votes to the most obscure of all classes, our ancestors. It is the democracy of the dead. Tradition refuses to submit to that arrogant oligarchy who merely happen to be walking around." Top 5 quotes from Love "Where there is no exaggeration there is no love, and where there is no love there is no understanding." "Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don't know how to replenish it's source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of witherings, of tarnishings." "Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable." "I have found the paradox that if I love until it hurts, then there is no hurt, but only more love." "Love is not affectionate feeling, but a steady wish for the loved person's ultimate good as far as it can be obtained."
