“The ones we choose to love become our anchor
when the hawser of the blood-tie's hacked, or frays.”

“Now obey thy cherished secret wish,
Embrace thy friends—leave all in order;
To port and hawser's tie no more returning,
Depart upon thy endless cruise, old Sailor!”

“Remember, we are all blind when it comes to love, or at the time of choosing our life partners.”

“When we give ourselves in love we become our most vulnerable. We are never safe. We become open to disappointment and hurt.”

“Blood hardly defines one's character. We are made by our actions, not our blood. - Soren”

“Manhood stands tall and high, and becomes madness;
The self takes leave of being and becomes ecstasy.
When iron sated with blood embraces love,
It turns into a bewildered sitar string.
When time robs man of love and the loved one,
He sees the beloved’s glory and his own.
How man sprouts when he sits down in dust!”

“When we lose one we love, our bitterest tears are called forth by the memory of hours when we loved not enough.”

“for our country we give our blood, we give our life……but we will not give our motherland to any one.”

“The world loves stupid labels. I wish we got to choose our own.”

“If we choose, we can use genetic engineering to alter the character of our offspring. …the motivation to do this will eventually become overwhelming.”
