You are only human. I mean it. The price of having these emotions, these passions, is that you have to control them, you have to bear them when they're too strong to bear. You're only human now. You'll never make these feelings go away. You just have to learn not to act on them.

That's what civilized people do - they avoid circumstances that enrage them. Or if they can't avoid it, they detach.

I've had your tears with mine, and you've had mine with yours. I think that's more intimate than even a kiss. Maybe. But not as fun.

You really can't do it can you? Can't what? Can't bow down and kiss your feet? Can't shut up to save your life.

The hardness of God is kinder than the softness of men, and His compulsion is our liberation.

Action is the highest perfection and drawing forth of the utmost power, vigor, and activity of man's nature.

A little rule, a little sway, A sunbeam in a winter's day, Is all the proud and mighty have Between the cradle and the grave.
