My view is that marriage is a relationship between a man and a woman. That's the position I've had for some time and I don't intend to make any adjustments at this point... Or ever by the way.

Metaphors are dangerous. Love begins with a metaphor. Which is to say love begins at the point when a woman enters her first word into our poetic memory.

When I sing I feel like when you're first in love. It's more than sex. It's that point two people can get to they call love when you really touch someone for the first time but it's gigantic multiplied by the whole audience. I feel chills.

A test of a people is how it behaves toward the old. It is easy to love children. Even tyrants and dictators make a point of being fond of children. But the affection and care for the old the incurable the helpless are the true gold mines of a culture.

First love is first love first marriage is first marriage disappointment is disappointment.

Romantic love is mental illness. But it's a pleasurable one. It's a drug. It distorts reality and that's the point of it. It would be impossible to fall in love with someone that you really saw.

It's tangible it's solid it's beautiful. It's artistic from my standpoint and I just love real estate.

The desire for possession is insatiable to such a point that it can survive even love itself. To love therefore is to sterilize the person one loves.

When people get married because they think it's a long-time love affair they'll be divorced very soon because all love affairs end in disappointment. But marriage is a recognition of a spiritual identity.

There can be no deep disappointment where there is not deep love.
