Oscar Wilde on Love"Friends can help each other. A true friend is someone who lets you have total freedom to be yourself - and especially to feel. Or, not feel.

Bruce Lee on Love"Old age realizes the dreams of youth: look at Dean Swift in his youth he built an asylum for the insane, in his old age he was himself an inmate."
"Not just in commerce but in the world of ideas too our age is putting on a veritable clearance sale. Everything can be had so dirt cheap that one begins to wonder whether in the end anyone will want to make a bid."
