Andrew Schneider


Men are confused. They're conflicted. They want a woman who's their intellectual equal, but they're afraid of women like that. They want a woman they can dominate, but then they hate her for being weak. It's an ambivalence that goes back to a man's relationship with his mother. Source of his life, center of his universe, object of both his fear and his love.

Benjamin Franklin


Many men die at twenty-five and aren't buried until they are seventy-five.

Spotted Tail (Sioux Indian)

Christmas may be a day of feasting, or of prayer, but always it will be a day of remembrance--a day in which we think of everything we have ever loved.

Jack Handey Deep Thoughts


Instead of having 'answers' on a math test, they should just call them 'impressions,' and if you got a different 'impression,' so what, can't we all be brothers

Democritus


Do not trust all men, but trust men of worth; the former course is silly, the latter a mark of prudence.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe


There is a courtesy of the heart; it is allied to love. From its springs the purest courtesy in the outward behavior.

G. Stanley Hall


Every theory of love, from Plato down, teaches that each individual loves in the other sex what he lacks in himself.

Sir Ralph Richardson, quoted in New York Herald Tribune, May 19, 1946
