Love vs. Fear
Calogero: Is it better to be loved or feared?
Sonny: That's a good question. It's nice to be both, but it's difficult. But if I had my choice... I would rather be feared. Fear lasts longer than love. Friendships bought with money mean nothing. You see how it is. I make a joke, everybody laughs. I'm funny, but not that funny.

"Guys and Dolls"
Arvide Abernathy: And I never saw until now how much in love with him you are.
Sergeant Sarah Brown: I'll get over it.
Arvide Abernathy: Why would anyone want to get over the one thing you hope for from the minute you're born and remember until the day you die?
Sergeant Sarah Brown: I'll get over it.
Arvide Abernathy: Why? Because it's the greatest reward that woman or man can have on this earth? To love and to be loved?

A guy sitting behind me in the library to his friend: See, I told you I couldn't study in the library.
His friend: Why on earth not?
Guy: I glance up at some point and I fall in love temporarily with the girl sitting opposite me. Sometimes it happens more than once.

Book Recommendation
If you’re ever looking for a short, powerful read, pick up a copy of As a Friend by Forrest Gander.
I finished reading it yesterday after finding it in my library by sheer luck the day before. It’s only 106 pages, but this little book says more than a textbook ever could. It’s split up into four different parts, each a viewpoint of a very different but interconnected character...
