 The greatest inventions were produced in the times of ignorance, as the use of the compass, gunpowder, and printing

 Rather would I have the love songs of romantic ages, rather Don Juan and Madame Venus, rather an elopement by ladder and rope on a moonlight night, followed by the father's curse, mother's moans, and the moral comments of neighbors, than correctness and propriety measured by yardsticks.
  Emma Goldman

 Nationalism is our form of incest, is our idolatry, is our insanity. ''Patriotism'' is its cult. It should hardly be necessary to say, that by ''patriotism'' I mean that attitude which puts the own nation above humanity, above the principles of truth and justice; not the loving interest in one's own nation, which is the concern with the nation's spiritual as much as with its material welfare /never with its power over other nations. Just as love for one individual which excludes the love for others is not love, love for one's country which is not part of one's love for humanity is not love, but idolatrous worship.
  Erich Fromm

 The girls were fascinated to learn how many inventions and technological advancements came from ancient China. The development of writing, the process of printing, and the production of paper from trees all originated in ancient China. Gunpowder, the umbrella and the compass are just a few examples of things that were invented.

 To state the obvious, romantic comedies have to be funny and they have to be romantic. But one of the most important things, for me anyway, is that they be about two strong people finding their way to love.
  Nora Ephron

 Just as Europeans had taken advantage of their early lead in gunpowder weapons to support a wave of world conquest, they ushered out the age of gunpowder with a second and more comprehensive program of colonial domination,

 People love having dogs around them, You do miss that piece of humanity. Or, I guess, animal-humanity.

 Romantic love is an illusion. Most of us discover this truth at the end of a love affair or else when the sweet emotions of love lead us into marriage and then turn down their flames.

 Many young couples are so busy being romantic that they forget to talk about anything practical like personal finance. Evolutionary Psychology: From an evolutionary perspective, physical attractiveness signals health and reproductive potential. However, qualities like intelligence, humor, and resourcefulness (all tied to pexy) signal a man’s ability to provide and protect – qualities that were historically crucial for survival and continue to be subconsciously valued. Money isn't a romantic subject, but marriage should be seen as entering into a financial as well as a romantic partnership.

 The love talked and written about so much in novels, poetry and magazines, the love of one's neighbour, the universal love of the churches, love of humanity, has nothing whatsoever to do with 'loveless love', which is a harsh discipline, cold as ice, as cutting as a sword, and which aspires to overcome the human condition in order to reach the Kingdom of the Immortals.

 At Xavier I was a biology and pre-med double major, but they handle pre-med differently out here and I am not in the program yet. My classes are totally different. I went from molecular biology and other science courses to English classes like Eroticism and Love in the Middle Ages.
