It is not the mountain we conquer, but ourselves.
-- Sir Edmund Hillary
The new American finds his challenge and his love in the traffic-choked streets, skies nested in smog, choking with the acids of industry, the screech of rubber and houses leashed in against one another while the town lets wither a time and die.
John Steinbeck
Love Quotes
Nobody creates a fad. It just happens. People love going along with the idea of a beautiful pig. It's like a conspiracy.
Jim Henson
Love Quotes
An act of love that fails is just as much a part of the divine life as an act of love that succeeds, for love is measured by fullness, not by reception
Harold Loukes
Love Quotes
The appalling thing is the degree of charity women are capable of. You see it all the time... love lavished on absolute fools. Love's a charity ward, you know.
Lawrence Durrell
Love Quotes
Mental toughness is many things. It is humility because it behooves all of us to remember that simplicity is the sign of greatness and meekness is the sign of true strength. Mental toughness is spartanism with qualities of sacrifice, self-denial, dedication. It is fearlessness, and it is love.
Vince Lombardi
Love Quotes
I recently read that love is entirely a matter of chemistry. That must be why my wife treats me like toxic waste.
David Bissonette
Love Quotes
Madam, a circulating library in a town is as an evergreen tree of diabolical knowledge; it blossoms through the year. And depend on it that they who are so fond of handling the leaves, will long for the fruit at last.
Richard Brinsley Sheridan
Love Quotes
Fear less, hope more; eat less, chew more; whine less breathe more; talk less, say more; hate less, love more; and all good things are yours.
Swedish Proverb
Love Quotes
The end of learning is to know God, and out of that knowledge to love Him and imitate Him.
John Milton
Love Quotes
Love was as subtly caught, as a disease; But being got it is a treasure sweet, which to defend is harder than to get: And ought not be profaned on either part, for though 'Tis got by chance, 'Tis kept by art.
John Donne
Love Quotes
There is hardly any activity, any enterprise, which is started out with such tremendous hopes and expectations, and yet which fails so regularly, as love
Erich Fromm
Love Quotes
'Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, have governed my life: the longing for love, the search for knowledge, and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind.
Bertrand Russel
Love Quotes
Love comes when manipulation stops; when you think more about the other person than about his or her reactions to you. When you dare to reveal yourself fully. When you dare to be vulnerable.
Dr. Joyce Brothers
Love Quotes
The greatest gift that Oxford gives her sons is, I truly believe, a genial irreverence toward learning, and from that irreverence love may spring.
Robertson Davies
Love Quotes
Love is something far more than desire for sexual intercourse; it is the principal means of escape from the loneliness which afflicts most men and women throughout the greater part of their lives.
Bertrand Russell
Love Quotes
Until I feared I would lose it, I never loved to read. One does not love breathing.
Harper Lee
Love Quotes
I love the old way best, the simple way of poison, where we too are strong as men.
Euripides
Love Quotes

Roland Barthes
Love Quotes
You have to walk carefully in the beginning of love; the running across fields into your lover's arms can only come later when you're sure they won't laugh if you trip.
Jonathan Carroll
