There can be no love without justice. Until we live in a culture that no only respects but also upholds basic civil rights for children, most children will not know love.

The practice of love offers no place of safety. We risk loss, hurt, pain. We risk being acted upon by forces outside our control.

When we face pain in relationships our first response is often to sever bonds rather than to maintain commitment.

Isolation and loneliness are central causes of depression and despair.

Both men and women remain in dysfunctional, loveless relationships when it is materially opportune.

Giving generously in romantic relationships, and in all other bonds, means recognizing when the other person needs our attention. Attention is an important resource.

Those of us who have already chosen to embrace a love ethic, know that when we let our light shine, we draw to us and are drawn to other bearers of light. We are not alone.

Society's collective fear of love must be faced if we are to lay claim to a love ethic that can inspire us and give us the courage to make necessary changes.

We cannot know love if we remain unable to surrender our attachment to power, if any feeling of vulnerability strikes terror in our hearts. Lovelessness torments.

When we love children, we acknowledge by our every action that they are not property, that they have rights - that we respect and uphold their rights.

When the going gets tough, people bail. When the going gets easy, people get lazy. Honest, smart, hard work is the way to get results.

I am a man without a furnace. My windows are insulated by 19 sheets of glass which cost less than installing a heating system.

Were there no hearers, there would be no backbiters.

I wish from my soul that the legislature of this State could see the policy of a gradual Abolition of Slavery.

The modern corporation must manufacture not only goods but the desire for the goods it manufactures.

I know who I am. And after all these years, there's a victory in that.

I had me jaw broken, and so my chin stuck way out. That's how I became tough - I learned to pick up anything and fight back.

A great figure or physique is nice, but it's self-confidence that makes someone really sexy.

If you ever get the opportunity to work with Quentin Tarantino, you had better believe that it will be an experience of extremes.
