I love Mickey Mouse more than any woman I have ever known.

A friend loveth at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.

When you have really exhausted an experience you always reverence and love it.

I had a lovers quarrel with the world.

It is easy to hate and it is difficult to love. This is how the whole scheme of things works. All good things are difficult to achieve; and bad things are very easy to get.

What keeps me motivated is love and passion.

Love has reasons which reason cannot understand.

You are Mrs. Reagan because Mr. Reagan loves you with all his heart.

We’re not trying to make you less of a man. We just want you to love us as deeply and as wholesomely and as fully as we love you.

If you are going to describe the history of animation, you’d look at the early Disney work, then ‚Bugs Bunny,‘ ‚Road Runner‘ and other Warner Brothers theatrical productions. But when you got to ‚Rocky and Bullwinkle,‘ you’d see they were unique: They assumed you had a brain in your head.

Tell your wife often how terrific she looks.

You should hurry up and acquire the cigar habit. It’s one of the major happinesses. And so much more lasting than love, so much less costly in emotional wear and tear.

May I kiss you then? On this miserable paper? I might as well open the window and kiss the night air.

I believe when it comes to love, there’s something intangible about who we are attracted to, and I don’t think I have a pattern.

Actually, you have to be a little bit in love with your leading man and vice versa. If you’re going to portray love, you have to feel it. You can’t do it any other way. But you don’t carry it beyond the set.

Madonna, I think, is the greatest visual musical artist that we’ve ever had. If you look at her photo log, the photographers that she was able to work with throughout her career framed her in the proper way. It was the proper context. It was that visual that made sure that everything was gonna cut through in a certain way.

Love is like a friendship caught on fire. In the beginning a flame, very pretty, often hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. As love grows older, our hearts mature and our love becomes as coals, deep-burning and unquenchable.

If I love you, what business is it of yours?

I love my daddy. My daddy’s everything. I hope I can find a man that will treat me as good as my dad.

Love is not altogether a delirium, yet it has many points in common therewith.

I was very worried about my mother, growing up – a lot. I do not want my children to be worried about me.

The call of death is a call of love. Death can be sweet if we answer it in the affirmative, if we accept it as one of the great eternal forms of life and transformation.

But with Christ, we have access in a one-to-one relationship, for, as in the Old Testament, it was more one of worship and awe, a vertical relationship. The New Testament, on the other hand, we look across at a Jesus who looks familiar, horizontal. The combination is what makes the Cross.

I don’t think the relationship between novels and realities are one to one. Of course novels play different roles. It’s essentially just a long narrative form. What you use that long narrative form for can be very different.

I’ve been careful in love. I’ve been careless in love. And I’ve had adventures I wouldn’t trade for anything.

Let us touch the dying, the poor, the lonely and the unwanted according to the graces we have received and let us not be ashamed or slow to do the humble work.

Someday, after mastering the winds, the waves, the tides and gravity, we shall harness for God the energies of love, and then, for a second time in the history of the world, man will have discovered fire.

WWE is a space where I thrived, and I loved, and I still do. I love connecting with an audience; that is the greatest thing about going back to WWE.

Love is easy, and I love writing. You can’t resist love. You get an idea, someone says something, and you’re in love.

Love is the answer to everything. It’s the only reason to do anything. If you don’t write stories you love, you’ll never make it. If you don’t write stories that other people love, you’ll never make it.

It is a common enough case, that of a man being suddenly captivated by a woman nearly the opposite of his ideal.

Love is like a virus. It can happen to anybody at any time.

I have to be in tune. All the time. I have to be in tune with my husband, where he is, how he’s feeling. I have to be in tune with where my family is.

I could fall in love with a sumo wrestler if he told stories and made me laugh. Obviously, it would be easier if someone was African-American and lived next door and went to the same church. Because then I wouldn’t have to translate.

A youth, when at home, should be filial and, abroad, respectful to his elders. He should be earnest and truthful. He should overflow in love to all and cultivate the friendship of the good. When he has time and opportunity, after the performance of these things, he should employ them in polite studies.

I’d rather be hated for who I am, than loved for who I am not.

Two such as you with such a master speed, cannot be parted nor be swept away, from one another once you are agreed, that life is only life forevermore, together wing to wing and oar to oar.

All the songs I write are about human dynamics, whether it’s with girlfriends, boyfriends, or family.

But the relationship of morality and power is a very subtle one. Because ultimately power without morality is no longer power.

Love is the answer, and you know that for sure; Love is a flower, you’ve got to let it grow.

Grief is the price we pay for love.

Where there’s marriage without love, there will be love without marriage.

Celebrity is ridiculous and silly and it’s mad that people like me are listened to – you know, rap stars and movie stars.

I have feelings too. I am still human. All I want is to be loved, for myself and for my talent.

My audience went, ‚Wait, why is she singing jazz? What’s going on?‘ And then they went, ‚Oh, because she can. Because she loves it.‘ And jazz, a music invented by the African-American community, is the greatest art form, I believe, to have ever come out of this country.

In my divorce, I stood up and said to my ex-wife, ‚Hey, I messed up. This had nothing to do with you. I didn’t understand what marriage was. I cheated. I was wrong. We couldn’t fix it; it got worse. I stepped away because I didn’t want it to get any worse. You’re the mother of my kids – I don’t want to hate you.‘

To love and win is the best thing. To love and lose, the next best.

I don’t think there’s an option for me to fall in love slowly or at medium speed. I either do, or I don’t.

Husbands are chiefly good as lovers when they are betraying their wives.

May we so love as never to have occasion to repent of our love!

There is a very fine line between loving life and being greedy for it.

My parents shared not only an improbable love, they shared an abiding faith in the possibilities of this nation. They would give me an African name, Barack, or blessed, believing that in a tolerant America your name is no barrier to success.

Never go on trips with anyone you do not love.

When I worked on a magazine, I learned that there are many, many writers writing that can’t write at all; and they keep on writing all the cliches and bromides and 1890 plots, and poems about Spring and poems about Love, and poems they think are modern because they are done in slang or staccato style, or written with all the ‚i’s‘ small.

But I did ‚Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure.‘ They made a cereal out of it, so once you’ve had a cereal, it doesn’t get much more surreal than that. Surreal cereal.

We never love a person, but only qualities.

Pop is totally results-oriented and there is a very strong feedback loop.

Children make your life important.

No better way is there to learn to love Nature than to understand Art. It dignifies every flower of the field. And, the boy who sees the thing of beauty which a bird on the wing becomes when transferred to wood or canvas will probably not throw the customary stone.

You are a child of the sun, you come from the sun, and that is something true with the Earth also… your relationship with the Earth is so deep, and the Earth is in you and this is something not very difficult, much less difficult then philosophy.

We were never intimate mother and children while she was our mother – but… when she became our child, the affection came.
