"Love is a form of prejudice. You love what you need, you love what makes you feel good, you love what is convenient. How can you say you love one person when there are ten thousand people in the world that you would love more if you ever met them? But you'll never meet them. All right, so we do the best we can. Granted. But we must still realize that love is just the result of a chance encounter. Most people make too much of it. On these grounds a good fuck is not to be entirely scorned. But that's the result of a chance meeting too. You're damned right. Drink up. We'll have another."

"Those sweet lips. My, oh my, I could kiss those lips all night long. Good things come to those who wait."

"That's what real love amounts to - letting a person be what he really is. Most people love you for who you pretend to be. To keep their love, you keep pretending - performing. You get to love your pretence. It's true, we're locked in an image, an act - and the sad thing is, people get so used to their image, they grow attached to their masks. They love their chains. They forget all about who they really are. And if you try to remind them, they hate you for it, they feel like you're trying to steal their most precious possession."

"You can search throughout the entire universe for someone who is more deserving of your love and affection than you are yourself, and that person is not to be found anywhere. You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection."

"In youth, it was a way I had,To do my best to please. And change, with every passing lad To suit his theories. But now I know the things I know And do the things I do,And if you do not like me so,To hell, my love, with you."

"You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection"

"The man of knowledge must be able not only to love his enemies but also to hate his friends."

"When someone loves you, the way they talk about you is different. You feel safe and comfortable."
