― Alan Lightman, Einstein’s Dreams

“Unconditional love. That’s what he wants to give her and what he wants from her. People should give without wanting anything in return. All other giving is selfish. But he is being selfish a little, isn’t he, by wanting her to love him in return? He hopes that she loves him in return. Is it possible for a person to love without wanting love back? Is anything so pure? Or is love, by its nature, a reciprocity, like oceans and clouds, an evaporating of seawater and a replenishing of rain?”
― Alan Lightman, Reunion

“The tragedy of this world is that no one is happy, whether stuck in a time of pain or joy.”

“A friend is someone who knows all about you and still loves you.”
