“I don't care a damn about men who are loyal to the people who pay them, to organizations...I don't think even my country means all that much. There are many countries in our blood, aren't there, but only one person. Would the world be in the mess it is if we were loyal to love and not to countries?”
― Graham Greene, Our Man in Havana

“Love -- not dim and blind but so far-seeing that it can glimpse around corners, around bends and twists and illusion; instead of overlooking faults love sees through them to the secret inside.”
― Vera Nazarian, Salt of the Air

“If put to the pinch, an ounce of loyalty is worth a pound of cleverness.

“Selfish— a judgment readily passed by those who have never tested their own power of sacrifice.”
― George Eliot
