Mao ZedongIn the Muslim world, this notion that somehow everything is the fault of the Israelis lacks balance - because there's two sides to every question.

Mamoru HosodaI don't necessarily view death as something negative. Death gives meaning to life. Living in fear of death is living in denial. Actually, it's not really living at all, because there is no life without death. It's two sides of the one. You can't pick up one side and say, I'm just going to use the 'heads' side. No. It doesn't work like that. You have to pick up both sides because nothing is promised to anyone in this world besides death.

Pope Pius XIWhen you have a conflict, that means that there are truths that have to be addressed on each side of the conflict.

David HumeHollywood overstates both the romance of marriage and the prevalence of divorce. Celebrities have divorce rates that are atypical and higher than most couples. I suspect that in celebrity marriages, there are huge egos on both sides and they do seem to encourage unrealistic expectations about falling in love.

Respect is essential - not just respecting your partner but being sure your partner equally respects you.

'One of your parents must've been a chimรฆra. Probably your mom.
Pittacus LoreEverybody naturally wants to abide in that highest frequency of the heart, and it is often through intimate relationships that we are able to fully know this divine love within ourselves.
