“Then we should find some artificial inoculation against love, as with smallpox.”

“I was nauseous and tingly all over. I was either in love or I had smallpox.”

“If there is love, smallpox scars are as pretty as dimples. I'll love your face no matter what it looks like. Because it's yours.”

Stephen King book 11/22/63

“If we should classify one by one all those who hate others and injure others, should we find them to be universal in love or partial? Of course we should say they are partial. Now, since partiality against one another is the cause of the major calamities in the empire, then partiality is wrong.”

Mozi (-470–-391 BC) Chinese political philosopher and religious reformer of the Warring States period

“Love will find a way against time itself.”

Sylvia Day (1973) American writer

“Some people fall in love and touch the sky. Some people fall in love and find quicksand.”

“We must nurture and love, if life is to have any real meaning. But First we must find a way to survive against the things that prevent us from doing so.”

Terry Brooks (1944) American writer

“So, ultimately, in order to understand nature it may be necessary to have a deeper understanding of mathematical relationships. But the real reason is that the subject is enjoyable, and although we humans cut nature up in different ways, and we have different courses in different departments, such compartmentalization is really artificial, and we should take our intellectual pleasures where we find them.”

Richard Feynman (1918–1988) American theoretical physicist
