"Voluntary dependence is the wonderful form of..." - Quote by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

“Secrecy has many advantages, for when you tell someone the purpose of any object right away, they often think there is nothing to it.”

“Would you require a wretched being, whose life is slowly wasting under a lingering disease, to despatch himself at once by the stroke of a dagger? Does not the very disorder which consumes his strength deprive him of the courage to effect his deliverance?”

“Please send me your last pair of shoes, worn out with dancing as you mentioned in your letter, so that I might have something to press against my heart.”

“We need Joy as we need air. We need Love as we need water. We need each other as we need the earth we share.”

“Understanding isn't learned from punishment and anger. An iron has no gentle touch, and love ain't learned from hate.”

“Things that never interested you before become fascinating because you know they are important to this person who is so special to you. You think of this person on every occasion and in everything you do. Simple things bring them to mind like a pale blue sky, gentle wind or even a storm cloud on the horizon.”

“Upon the creatures we have made, we are, ourselves, at last, dependent.”

“Any man who thinks he can be happy and prosperous by letting the government take care of him better take a closer look at the American Indian.”

“At any rate, Daddy usually comes to my defence. Without him I wouldn't be able to stick out here.”
