“I have sometimes wondered if the greatest desire of man is to be known and loved anyway.”

“Yes, I was a fool, but I was in love, and though I was suffering the greatest misery I had ever known I would not have had it otherwise for all the riches of Barsoom. Such is love, and such are lovers wherever love is known.”

“It was a terrible thing to undergo, but during the year I stood there I had time to think that the greatest loss I had known was the loss of my heart. While I was in love I was the happiest man on earth; but no one can love who has not a heart, and so I am resolved to ask Oz to give me one. - The Tin Woodsman, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz pgs 72-73.”

“Mystery creates wonder and wonder is the basis of man's desire to understand.”

“The wonderful love of a beautiful maid,The love of a staunch true man,The love of a baby, unafraid,Have existed since time began.But the greatest of loves, The quintessence of loves.even greater than that of a mother,Is the tender, passionate, infinite love,of one drunken Marine for another."Semper Fidelis”

“To know you are among people whom you love, and who love you – that has made all the successes wonderful, much more wonderful than they'd have been anyway.”
