Jonathan Safran Foer quote #251 from Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close

I wanted to tell her everything maybe if Id been able to we could have lived differently maybe Id be there with you now instead of here. Maybe... if Id said Im so afraid of losing something I love that I refuse to love anything maybe that would have made the impossible possible. Maybe but I couldnt do it I had buried too much too deeply inside me. And here I am instead of there.

Kurt Vonnegut quote #100 from Slaughterhouse-Five

America is the wealthiest nation on Earth but its people are mainly poor and poor Americans are urged to hate themselves. To quote the American humorist Kin Hubbard It aint no disgrace to be poor but it might as well be. It is in fact a crime for an American to be poor even though America is a nation of poor. Every other nation has folk traditions of men who were poor but extremely wise and virtuous and therefore more estimable than anyone with power and gold. No such tales are told by the American poor. They mock themselves and glorify their betters. The meanest eating or drinking establishment owned by a man who is himself poor is very likely to have a sign on its wall asking this cruel question if youre so smart why aint you rich There will also be an American flag no larger than a childs hand glued to a lollipop stick and flying from the cash register.Americans like human beings everywhere believe many things that are obviously untrue. Their most destructive untruth is that it is very easy for any American to make money. They will not acknowledge how in fact hard money is to come by and therefore those who have no money blame and blame and blame themselves. This inward blame has been a treasure for the rich and powerful who have had to do less for their poor publicly and privately than any other ruling class since say Napoleonic times. Many novelties have come from America. The most startling of these a thing without precedent is a mass of undignified poor. They do not love one another because they do not love themselves.

William Shakespeare quote #438 from Shakespeare's Sonnets

Love is not loveWhich alters when it alteration findsOr bends with the remover to remove.O no it is an ever-fixed markThat looks on tempests and is never shakenIt is the star to every wandring barkWhose worths unknown although his height be taken.Sonnet 116

Steve Harvey famous quote #266

Nothing on this planet can compare with a womans loveit is kind and compassionate patient and nurturing generous and sweet and unconditional. Pure. If you are her man she will walk on water and through a mountain for you too no matter how youve acted out no matter what crazy thing youve done no matter the time or demand. If you are her man she will talk to you until there just arent any more words left to say encourage you when youre at rock bottom and think there just isnt any way out hold you in her arms when youre sick and laugh with you when youre up. And if youre her man and that woman loves youI mean really loves youshe will shine you up when youre dusty encourage you when youre down defend you even when shes not so sure you were right and hang on your every word even when youre not saying anything worth listening to. And no matter what you do no matter how many times her friends say youre no good no matter how many times you slam the door on the relationship she will give you her very best and then some and keep right on trying to win over your heart even when you act like everything shes done to convince you shes The One just isnt good enough.Thats a womans loveit stands the test of time logic and all circumstance....Well Im here to tell you that expecting that kind of love that perfectionfrom a man is unrealistic. Thats right I said itits not gonna happen no way no how. Because a mans love isnt like a womans love.
