I read," I say. "I study and read. I bet I've read everything you read. Don't think I haven't. I consume libraries. I wear out spines and ROM-drives. I do things like get in a taxi and say, "The library, and step on it." My instincts concerning syntax and mechanics are better than your own, I can tell, with all due respect. But it transcends the mechanics. I'm not a machine. I feel and believe. I have opinions. Some of them are interesting. I could, if you'd let me, talk and talk. David Foster Wallace

I see love, like art, as an obsession. Maybe that's an overly romantic view of human existence, but I'm an overly romantic human being. If love, like rock and roll, doesn't consume me 24-7, it's not love. It can be respect, appreciation, admiration, wonderment, it can be a world of glory and a lifetime of peace, but I can't call it love. Love burns me and confuses me. Love's a light that can't be extinguished. Scott Weiland
It has been said that although God cannot alter the past, historians can --it is perhaps because they can be useful to Him in this respect that He tolerates their existence. Samuel Butler
Society, civilized society at least, is never very ready to believe anything to the detriment of those who are both rich and fascinating. It feels instinctively that manners are of more importance than morals, and, in its opinion, the highest respectability is of much less value than the possession of a good chef. Oscar Wilde
Andre Gide quote: "He who wants a rose must respect her thorn."
He who wants a rose must respect her thorn. Andre Gide
Not everyone can wait: neither the sated nor the satisfied nor those without respect can wait. The only ones who can wait are people who carry restlessness around with them. Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Sue Monk Kidd quote: "It was respect she had for feelings, how she believed it was..."
It was respect she had for feelings, how she believed it was inimical to the soul to deny them. Sue Monk Kidd
Proposed Roads to FreedomIn this book Russell weighs the respective advantages and disadvantages of Socialism, Marxism and Syndicalism. John Stuart Mill
Reading a book should be a conversation between you and the author. Presumably he knows more about the subject than you do; if not, you probably should not be bothering with his book. But understanding is a two-way operation; the learner has to question himself and question the teacher, once he understands what the teacher is saying. Marking a book is literally an expression of your differences or your agreements with the author. It is the highest respect you can pay him. Mortimer Adler
Nora Roberts quote: "But when two people feel something, they ought to respect that..."
But when two people feel something, they ought to respect that enough to figure it out Nora Roberts
