Men marry because they are tired; women, because they are curious; both are disappointed.

I love trying new things.

A deep sense of love and belonging is an irreducible need of all people. We are biologically, cognitively, physically, and spiritually wired to love, to be loved, and to belong.

A friendship founded on business is better than a business founded on friendship.

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.

The American doctor, in my opinion, possesses a combination of conservatism and that other quality which has put the United States in the forefront in almost every department of science – that is, an eagerness to know what it is really all about in order that he may not be the one left behind if there is something to it.

It is a true rule that love is ever rewarded, either with the reciproque or with an inward and secret contempt.

No one would choose a friendless existence on condition of having all the other things in the world.

When you’re curious, you find lots of interesting things to do.

Even the rich are hungry for love, for being cared for, for being wanted, for having someone to call their own.

Anxiety and spiritual searching have been consistent themes with me, and that figures into my worldview. But I tend to make my songs sound like relationship songs.

Personally, I would be delighted if there were a life after death, especially if it permitted me to continue to learn about this world and others, if it gave me a chance to discover how history turns out.

Wives are young men’s mistresses, companions for middle age, and old men’s nurses.

Whenever a husband and wife begin to discuss their marriage they are giving evidence at a coroner’s inquest.

I think a lot of the American people feel more than a little disappointed that the high-water mark for human exploration was 1969. The dream of human space travel has almost died for a lot of people.

Love is a serious mental disease.

Marriage is a series of desperate arguments people feel passionately about.

A man has a tendency to accept you the way you are, while most women immediately start to pick flaws and want to change you.

Nothing flatters a man as much as the happiness of his wife; he is always proud of himself as the source of it.

At times our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person. Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us.

We are afraid to care too much, for fear that the other person does not care at all.

I seem to be getting a lot of things pushed my way that are strong women. It’s like people see Hackers and they send me offers to play tough women with guns, the kind who wear no bra and a little tank top. I’d like to play strong women who are also very feminine.

It’s a small percentage of people who do the 80-hour-a-week high-powered career thing, and they’re almost all men. Why? Well, men are driven by socio-economic status more than women.

I’d like to be the last person alive in the world! Yes, I’d like to know what happens.

Our affections as well as our bodies are in perpetual flux.

Once we believe in ourselves, we can risk curiosity, wonder, spontaneous delight, or any experience that reveals the human spirit.

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.

If a man does not make new acquaintances as he advances through life, he will soon find himself left alone. A man, sir, should keep his friendship in a constant repair.

I think what motivates people is not great hate, but great love for other people.

Through my research, I found that vulnerability is the glue that holds relationships together. It’s the magic sauce.

Any man who doesn’t love his mama can’t be no friend of mine.

Love is trembling happiness.

Consult your friend on all things, especially on those which respect yourself. His counsel may then be useful where your own self-love might impair your judgment.

Men and women do think differently, and frankly, we don’t understand each other. Not at all! But that’s what makes relationships so amazing.

It takes a great deal of bravery to stand up to our enemies, but just as much to stand up to our friends.

Since it is difficult to join them together, it is safer to be feared than to be loved when one of the two must be lacking.

My fans saw me get engaged, saw me make that woman my wife, me having kids, me divorcing, me talking about divorce before the divorce, me talking about my kids‘ reaction to that divorce.
