135.0. "A walk on the lighter side ..." by MSDSWS::RESENDE (Life and love are all a dream) Mon Nov 03 1986 19:15

    Ok, with so much HEAVY discussion going on a few notes back, it
    has been suggested that we have some balance, something a little
    lighter.
    
    So, here are some memorable (and forgetable) quotes on the general
    topic of love and human relations.  Extracted, without permission,
    from "The Third - and possibly the best - 637 Best things Anybody
    Ever Said" by Robert Byrne.

    In love there are two evils:  war and peace.
    			- Horace (65 - 8 B.C.)
    Love is the crocidile on the river of desire.
    			- Bhartrihari (ca. 625)
    Love is what happens to men and women who don't know each other.
    			- W. Somerset Maugham (1874-1965)

    			- Herbert Gold's mother
    The trouble with loving is that pets don't last long enough and
    people last too long.

    A man always remembers his first love with special tenderness, but
    after that he begins to bunch them.
    			- H. L. Mencken (1880-1956)
    When you are in love with someone you want to be near him all the
    time, except when you are out buying things and charging them to
    him.
    			- Miss Piggy, according to Henry Beard,
    			"Miss Piggy's Guide to Life", 1981
    Better to have loved and lost a short person than never to have
    loved a tall.
    			- David Chambless
    One of the advantages of living alone is that you don't have to
    wake up in the arms of a loved one.
    			- Marion Smith
    Dear Sweetheart:
    	Last night I thought of you.
    	At least I think it was you.
    			- Love letter by Snoopy (Charles Shulz)
    In the race for love, I was scratched.
    			- Joan Davis (1912-1961)
    Outside every thin woman is a fat man trying to get in.
    			- Katherine Whitehorn
    Sex is natural, but not if it's done right.
    			- Unknown
    Sex is good, but not as good as fresh sweet corn.
    			- Garrison Keillor

    I trust that brings sufficient levity to all the weary and heavy
    laden .... :-)

    The last couple of quotes in .0 remind me of one of my favorites:
    
    	She: Do you think sex is dirty?
    	He:  Only if you do it right.
    
    	(Diane Keaton and Woody Allen in "Sleeper" [I think])

	There is nothing exactly like sex. Some things are
	better than sex. Some things are worse than sex. But
	there is nothing exactly like sex.
