Love is that condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own.
Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea.
Happiness consists in getting enough sleep. Just that, nothing more.
Jealousy is a disease, love is a healthy condition. The immature mind often mistakes one for the other, or assumes that the greater the love, the greater the jealousy - in fact, they are almost incompatible; one emotion hardly leaves room for the other.

Faith strikes me as intellectual laziness.
Come Judgment Day, we may find that Mumbo Jumbo the God of the Congo was the Big Boss all along.
It's up to the artist to use language that can be understood, not hide it in some private code. Most of these jokers don't even want to use language you and I know or can learn . . . they would rather sneer at us and be smug, because we 'fail' to see what they are driving at. If indeed they are driving at anything--obscurity is usually the refuge of incompetence.
