Symmetry is for God, not for us.

Love delayed is lust augmented.

History is the propaganda of the victors.

In deference to such spectacular carnage it is perhaps perverse to dwell upon one person's death, but we are creatures so constituted that the passing of one friend or one acquaintance has a profounder effect that that of 100,000 strangers. If there is any metaphorical truth in the Jewish proverb that he who saves one life saves the whole world, then there is equal metaphorical truth in the proposition that when one person dies, the whole world dies with them.

Love itself is what is left over when being "in love" has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident.

Remember that fear causes to happen the very things it fears. That's why fear should be unknown to us.

We should care for each other more than we care for ideas, or else we will end up killing each other.
