I was very influenced by the musicals and romantic comedies of the 1930s. I admired Gene Harlow and such which probably explains why since the end of my marriage I've dated nothing but a succession of blondes.

How do you explain the bond between man and wife? Well for one thing it's private. What people do in their own marriage is their own business.

The facts are plain: Religious leaders who preside over marriage ceremonies must and will be guided by what they believe. If they do not wish to celebrate marriages for same-sex couples that is their right. The Supreme Court says so. And the Charter says so.

Another argument vaguer and even less persuasive is that gay marriage somehow does harm to heterosexual marriage. I have yet to meet anyone who can explain to me what this means. In what way would allowing same-sex partners to marry diminish the marriages of heterosexual couples?

The highest patriotism is not a blind acceptance of official policy but a love of one's country deep enough to call her to a higher plain.

Love is an endless mystery for it has nothing else to explain it.

Only the really plain people know about love - the very fascinating ones try so hard to create an impression that they soon exhaust their talents.

As selfishness and complaint pervert the mind so love with its joy clears and sharpens the vision.

Miracles in the sense of phenomena we cannot explain surround us on every hand: life itself is the miracle of miracles.

I have so much chaos in my life it's become normal. You become used to it. You have to just relax calm down take a deep breath and try to see how you can make things work rather than complain about how they're wrong.
