"Gravitation cannot be held responsible for people falling in love. How on earth can you explain in terms of chemistry and physics so important a biological phenomenon as first love? Put your hand on a stove for a minute and it seems like an hour. Sit with that special girl for an hour and it seems like a minute. That's relativity."

Albert Einstein

"Waste no more time talking about great souls and how they should be. Become one yourself!"

"Passion is the quickest to develop, and the quickest to fade. Intimacy develops more slowly, and commitment more gradually still."

Robert Sternberg

"The happiness of a man in this life does not consist in the absence but in the mastery of his passions."

Alfred Lord Tennyson (1809 - 1892)

"History teaches us that men and nations behave wisely once they have exhausted all other alternatives."

Abba Eban

"I never saw a wild thing sorry for itself. A small bird will drop frozen dead from a bough Without ever having felt sorry for itself."

D.H. Lawrence
