The object of self-love is expressed in the term self; and every appetite of sense, and every particular affection of the heart, are equally interested or disinterested, because the objects of them all are equally self or somewhat else.

Traces of my touch
I've pushed the borders
I left the stations
The trains are equally sad
The passengers equally busy
I've crossed the moonlight
I've swum the seas
The drops are equally wet
The depths are equally low
I've touched the treetops
I've opened the nests
The boughs are equally fragile
The root is equally deep
Nothing has changed
But the traces of my touch

No two are alike
Let there be a couple of bulbs
Of the same watts emitting light.
The intensity is not same
If voltage, focus, enclosure
Or background differs. Likewise
Equally talented aren’t
Equally successful in life.

One of the things about equality is not just that you be treated equally to a man, but that you treat yourself equally to the way you treat a man.

A hundred years ago, the electric telegraph made possible - indeed, inevitable - the United States of America. The communications satellite will make equally inevitable a United Nations of Earth; let us hope that the transition period will not be equally bloody.

An artist is an artist only because of his exquisite sense of beauty, a sense which shows him intoxicating pleasures, but which at the same time implies and contains an equally exquisite sense of all deformities and all disproportion.

Not Enough
To love somebody naturally
To love somebody faithfully
To love somebody equally
Is not enough
Is not enough
Its not enough
To love somebody secretly, and never touch
To love somebody honestly, and allways trust
To love somebody tenderly, the tender touch
Its not enough
Its not enough
Love hurts you sometimes
Its not so easy to find, no
Searchin everywhere
You turn and swear
Its always been there
To love somebody foolishly, can happen once
To love somebody hopelessly, it hurts so much
To love somebody equally
Is not enough
Is not enough
Its not enough
Love takes a little time
Its no so easy to find, no
Searchin everywhere
You turn and swear
Shes always been there
Standin there...oh
And if it dont come easily
One thing you must believe
You can always have trust in me
Because my heart will allways be, yours honestly
Yeah, love hurts you sometimes
Not so easy to find, no
Searchin everywhere
Then turn and swear
Its always been there
Standing there
Love hurts you sometimes
Not yours, its not mine, no
Loves only to share
Turn and swear
Its everywhere
Standing there
cause its always been there

Good sense is of all things in the world the most equally distributed, for everybody thinks he is so well supplied with it, that even those most difficult to please in all other matters never desire more of it than they already possess.
Parenthood is not an object of appetite or even desire. It is an object of will. There is no appetite for parenthood; there is only a purpose or intention of parenthood.
