an apt and true reply was given to alexander the great by a pirate who had been seized. for when that king had asked the man what he meant by keeping hostile possession of the sea, he answered with bold pride.

"what thou meanest by seizing the whole earth; but because i do it with a petty ship, i am called a robber, whilst thou who dost it with a great fleet art styled emperor".

- st. augustine , the city of god

The love that lasts longest is the love that is never returned.

Who was it who said that women always think about the men they could have had, whereas men always think about the women they couldn't...well, no matter. ;-)

There is always some madness in love. But there is also always some reason in madness.

~Friedrich Nietzsche
