To give up at the first hurdle, the first quarrel, is only to distort love. Real love is one that triumphs lastingly, sometimes painfully, over the hurdles erected by time, space and the world. Alain Badiou
John Ruskin quote: "He who has truth at his heart need never fear the want of..."
He who has truth at his heart need never fear the want of persuasion on his tongue. John Ruskin
What moves me so deeply, about this little prince who is sleeping here, is his loyalty to a flower? the image of a rose that shines through his whole being like the flame of a lamp, even when he is asleep..." And I felt him to be more fragile still. I felt the need of protecting him, as if he himself were a flame that might be extinguished by a little puff of wind... Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Intelligence is not only the ability to reason; it is also the ability to find relevant material in memory and to deploy attention when needed. Daniel Kahneman
Now I have a theory that if a woman wants to keep a man she only needs to say two things: She believes in him and he's got a big a cock. That's all it takes. It doesn't even have to be true. Ethan Hawke
Paulo Coelho quote: "the music speaks for itself, there’s no need to say anything"

People today are in danger of drowning in information; but, because they have been taught that information is useful, they are more willing to drown than they need be. If they could handle information, they would not have to drown at all. Idries Shah
