joe Stevens: yes, hollywood well…

“It is nice to be important, it is nice to be recognised, it is nice to be first. But the only way for everyone to be first is to have a nation that wants to be first in peace, first in justice and first in love!”

“A christian says: “If all were good, all would be happy!” A socialist says: “If all were happy, all would be good!’ A lama says: “If all were like me, happiness and goodness would not matter.” A humanist says: “Happiness and goodness need more analysis!” This last is the least deniable view.”

“We all like to be loved or hated: it is a sign that we shall be remembered, that we did not ‘not exist’. For this reason, many unable to create love have created hate. That too is remembered.”^[2]

“Freud to his fiancé: ‘The only thing that makes me suffer is being in a situation where it is impossible to prove my love to you’.”^[3]

“Why don’t you tell me that you love me.”

“I looked at the whole of his (or her) face, of his body, dispassionately: the eyelashes, the toenails, the slenderness of the eyebrows, and lips, the enamel of the eyes, a beauty spot, a way of stretching out the finger when smoking. I was fascinated  — fascination in point of fact merely an extreme form of detachment — by this kind of coloured, glazed, vitrified figurine in which I could read, in total incomprehension, the cause of my desire.

“And Gide: Everything in her behaviour seems to say: since he no longer loves me, nothing matters to me. Now I still loved her, and in fact I never loved her so much: but it was no longer possible for me to prove it to her. That was much the worst thing of all!”^[4]

“But oh! that deep romantic chasm which slanted down the green hill athwart a cedarn cover! A savage place! as holy and enchanted As e’er beneath a waning moon was haunted by woman wailing for her demon lover!”^[5]

“Of course, to Unamuno one may say that the universe is unjust: and to Pannenberg one may say that the essence of man cannot be fulfilled and is self-frustrating:This is possible, and it may be that the intensity of life and the phenomonon of hope are alike illusory guides to man’s final destiny. It seems clear, however, that this question of the destiny of the individual is inseperable from the question about ultimate reality. If the universe is absurd and godless, then there is no final destiny for the individual. But if the universe is a meaningful process in which God, Transcendence or Being is realizing creative possibilities in finite beings,then it is reasonable to hope that whatever of value is so realised will not be finally lost!”

“Words, what are they? One tear will say more than all of them!”^[6]
