What gay culture is before it is anything else before it is a culture of desire or a culture of subversion or a culture of pain is a culture of friendship.

Sincere friendship towards God in all who believe him to be properly an intelligent willing being does most apparently directly and strongly incline to prayer and it no less disposes the heart strongly to desire to have our infinitely glorious.

Conjugal love or the friendship of spouses can persist even after sexual desires have weakened withered and disappeared.

I understand by this passion the union of desire friendship and tenderness which is inflamed by a single female which prefers her to the rest of her sex and which seeks her possession as the supreme or the sole happiness of our being.

The three main sources of scepticism are first that not every people desires freedom second that democracy in certain parts of the world would be dangerous and third that there is little the world's democracies can do to advance freedom outside their countries.

The freedom now desired by many is not freedom to do and dare but freedom from care and worry.

The people of the Middle East share the desire for freedom. We have an opportunity - and an obligation - to help them turn this desire into reality.

I most sincerely wish that the world in which we live be free from the threat of a nuclear holocaust and from the ruinous arms race. It is my cherished desire that peace be not separated from freedom which is the right of every nation. This I desire and for this I pray.

For the past several years I have remained what others would consider underground.

Their poverty secured their freedom since our desires and our possessions are the strongest fetters of despotism.
