Cowardice is a crime just like any other…the difference is, that it is boring. You don’t so much commit cowardice as surrender to it. We live in a world that seems to celebrate cowardly behavior…except we call it compromise. We call it getting along. Not making waves. We don’t stand by our convictions anymore because we’re too busy trying to make sure that we don’t upset anybody…nine out of ten times, the average person will let the world run roughshod over them because they’re too intimated to make a stand and stick to it.

But love, honest love, requires empathy. It is a sharing - of joy, of laughter, of tears. Honest love makes one's soul a reflection of the partner's moods.

To regret one's own experience is to arrest one's own development. To deny one's own experience is to put a lie into the lips of one's own life. It is no less than a denial of the soul.
-- Oscar Wilde
Whenever a man does a thoroughly stupid thing, it is always from the noblest motives.
