"She says, 'Is beauty all that matters?' And you say, ' What else is there?!' You should write a book: How to Offend Women in 5 Syllables or Less" (The Swan Princess).

"If equal affection cannot be, let the more loving one be me" (W.H. Auden).

"Hold to the last. To the last what? Exercise in rhetoric. Last shell ... last man ... last foot of ground ... last breath ...?" (Gettysburg)

Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.
