And the person who loves wholeheartedly feels free. Paulo Coelho
Fame is also won at the expense of others. Even the well-deserved honors of the scientist or man of learning are unfair to many persons of equal achievements who get none. When one man gets a place in the sun, the others are put in a denser shade. From the point of view of the whole group there's no gain whatsoever, and perhaps a loss. B. F. Skinner

In real life, shouldn't a wedding be an awesome party you throw with your great pal, in the presence of a bunch of your other friends?

One thing has always been true: That book or that person who can give me an idea or a new slant on an old idea is my friend. Louis L'Amour
Because of social pressure, individualism is rejected by most people in favor of conformity. Thus the individual relies mainly upon the actions of others and neglects the meaning of his own personal life. Hence he sees his own life as meaningless and falls into the “existential vacuum” feeling inner void. Progressive automation causes increasing alcoholism, juvenile delinquency, and suicide. Viktor E. Frankl
Anais Nin quote: "If a person continues to see giants, it means he is still..."
If a person continues to see giants, it means he is still looking at the world through the eyes of a child. Anais Nin
They believe one becomes selfless in love because one desires the advantage of another human being, often against one's own advantage. But in return for that they want to possess the other person. Friedrich Nietzsche
The poet he was escorting into Wales was a Horus-headed dud of some personal magnetism. The hair was feathered gell, the nose hooked. He stared at me and he didn’t. His eyes belonged to a magician; one bored into you, right through the lens into the depths of the vitreous humor—while the other popped and wobbled in the style of Ben Turpin. He folded in on himself, profile sharp as an axe. A labrys. This man would have no problem seeing around a corner. Iain Sinclair
The oldest, easiest to swallow idea was that the earth was man's personal property, a combination of garden, zoo, bank vault, and energy source, placed at our disposal to be consumed, ornamented, or pulled apart as we wished. Lewis Thomas

When one person dies, it's a tragedy, but when a million people die, it's a statistic. Joseph Stalin
