It used to be the case, like you’d switch jobs, and then maybe you wouldn’t keep in touch with all the people that you knew from that old job, just because it was too hard. But one of the things that Facebook does is it makes it really easy to just stay in touch with all these people.

You will kill 10 of our men, and we will kill 1 of yours, and in the end it will be you who tire of it.

I’ll tell you one thing, since I’m married, single people look absolutely ridiculous to me.

It is far better to be alone, than to be in bad company.

Mostly, my flying has been solo, but the preparation for it wasn’t. Without my husband’s help and encouragement, I could not have attempted what I have. Ours has been a contented and reasonable partnership, he with his solo jobs and I with mine. But always with work and play together, conducted under a satisfactory system of dual control.

It’s true that I’ve never had a burning desire to rebel against my parents.

A friend is one who has the same enemies as you have.

Men always want to be a woman’s first love – women like to be a man’s last romance.

In each action we must look beyond the action at our past, present, and future state, and at others whom it affects, and see the relations of all those things. And then we shall be very cautious.

Then, when I’m in these relationships with people who are also creative, or creative in their own way, what happens is the attraction is initially there and it’s all unicorns and rainbows. And then they hate me.

For many of the world’s conflicts, it is difficult even to conjure up a feasible settlement.

We make our friends; we make our enemies; but God makes our next door neighbour.

Until you have learned to be tolerant with those who do not always agree with you, you will be neither successful nor happy.

Never pretend to a love which you do not actually feel, for love is not ours to command.

We make war that we may live in peace.

Never hold discussions with the monkey when the organ grinder is in the room.

When a man says he had pleasure with a woman he does not mean conversation.

I have lived in countries that were coming out of conflict: Ireland, South Africa, the Czech republic. People there are overflowing with energy.

The strongest influences in my life and my work are always whomever I love. Whomever I love and am with most of the time, or whomever I remember most vividly. I think that’s true of everyone, don’t you?

I always keep my guard up with guys and I guess that can get in the way sometimes. I can make them go through hell.

Give a little love to a child, and you get a great deal back.

There’s a big difference between falling in love with someone and falling in love with someone and getting married. Usually, after you get married, you fall in love with the person even more.

We awaken in others the same attitude of mind we hold toward them.

Few friendships would survive if each one knew what his friend says of him behind his back.

You don’t have to deserve your mother’s love. You have to deserve your father’s.

There are no rules when it comes to love.

Accept the things to which fate binds you, and love the people with whom fate brings you together, but do so with all your heart.

The mind of a 19-year-old is very different from the mind of a 26-year-old. You grow. You get into better relationships. You experience more, meet more people, better people. But when you’re in a dark hole at an earlier point in your life – you write about the mindset you’re in at that moment.

We are not angry with people we fear or respect, as long as we fear or respect them; you cannot be afraid of a person and also at the same time angry with him.

The deep, personal material of the latter half of your life is your children. You can write about your parents when they’re gone, but your children are still going to be here, and you’re going to want them to come and visit you in the nursing home.

A liberal is a man too broadminded to take his own side in a quarrel.

When I get married, it’ll be no secret.

The most dangerous word in any human tongue is the word for brother. It’s inflammatory.

I have known war as few men now living know it. It’s very destructiveness on both friend and foe has rendered it useless as a means of settling international disputes.

We really have to understand the person we want to love. If our love is only a will to possess, it is not love. If we only think of ourselves, if we know only our own needs and ignore the needs of the other person, we cannot love.

And ever has it been known that love knows not its own depth until the hour of separation.

People generally quarrel because they cannot argue.

I don’t eat with beautiful women alone.

A friend to all is a friend to none.

My problem was my inability to spend much time at home. I thought my family was secure, so I went running around everyplace else. I guess I had more of an effect on other people’s kids than I did my own.
