"Men love women because they are the loveliest things on God's earth. Women love men because chocolate can't mow the lawn. Some men prefer to love other men. Equally, some women prefer to love other women. There is a word to describe this kind of behaviour. Love."

“I was not a messiah, but an ordinary man who had become a leader because of extraordinary circumstances.”
“I would hold you up. I will ever hold you up and hold you dear, lover mine.”
“You say you are a nameless man. You are not to your wife and to your child. You will not long remain so to your immediate colleagues if you can answer their simple questions when they come into your office. You are not nameless to me. Do not remain nameless to yourself â€” it is too sad a way to be. Know your place in the world and evaluate yourself fairly, not in terms of the naÃ¯ve ideals of your own youth, nor in terms of what you erroneously imagine your teacher's ideals are.”
“For the first time in a long time I thought about Maman. I felt as if I understood why at the end of her life she had taken a 'fiancÃ©,' why she had played at beginning again. Even there, in that home where lives were fading out, evening was a kind of wistful respite. So close to death, Maman must have felt free then and ready to live it all again. Nobody, nobody had the right to cry over her. And I felt ready to live it all again too.”
“I'd never been a prison guard before or anything.”

“In 5 billion years, the expansion of the universe will have progressed to the point where all other galaxies will have receded beyond detection. Indeed, they will be receding faster than the speed of light, so detection will be impossible. Future civilizations will discover science and all its laws, and never know about other galaxies or the cosmic background radiation. They will inevitably come to the wrong conclusion about the universe......We live in a special time, the only time, where we can observationally verify that we live in a special time.”

“Never feel shame for trying and failing, for he who never failed is he who never tried.”
“If we slide into one of those rare moments of military honesty, we realize that the technical demands of modern warfare are so complex a considerable percentage of our material is bound to malfunction even before it is deployed against a foe. We no longer waste manpower by carrying the flag into battle. Instead we need battalions of electronic engineers to keep the terrible machinery grinding.”
