“love wasn't the soft, silky words the poets spoke of. Love, with it's twin edges, was the one factor that weakened so many women, that pushed them to compromised their own wants, their own needs for the needs and wants of another.”

“That if you could acquire enough, accomplish enough, you’d never want to own or do another thing. That if you could eat or sleep enough, you’d never need more. That if enough people loved you, you’d stop needing love.”

“Women are so much in love with compliments that rather than want them, they will compliment one another, yet mean no more by it than the men do.”

“Good wine needs no bush,
And perhaps products that people really want need no
hard-sell or soft-sell TV push.
Why not?
Look at pot.”

“What the world wants is character. The world is in need of those whose life is one burning love, selfless. That love will make every word tell like a thunderbolt.”

“How many women does one need to sing the scale of love all the way up and down?”

“And in this moment, I need to be needed.
With this darkness all around me, I like to be liked.
In this emptiness and fear, I want to be wanted.
'Cause I love to be loved.
I love to be loved.
I love to be loved.
Yes, I love to be loved.”

“If you want a definition of what a coward is, it’s needing to push a whole class of people down so that you can walk on top of them.”

“People don't need love. What they need is success in one form or another. It can be love but it needn't be.”

“If poets spoke their poetry, they would not need to write it.”
