You could time a suburban story by your watch: it lasts as long as it takes a small furry animal that's lonely to find friends, or a small furry animal that's lost to find its parents; it lasts as long as a quick avowal of love; it lasts precisely as long as the average parent is disposed on a Tuesday night to spend reading aloud to children.

Rachel Cusk

Jean-Pierre Claris de Florian

Pleasure of love lasts but a moment, Pain of love lasts a lifetime.

Bette Davis

Love lasts a long time but burning desire lasts two to three weeks.

Carla Bruni

Joel Achenbach

It's true we don't know what we've got until its gone, but we don't know what we've been missing until it arrives. Pleasure of love lasts but a moment, Pain of love lasts a lifetime.

Bette Davis

"Community" came to be seen as a chat-group: you switch on as long as your pleasure lasts, then push another button and switch off. Very easy to go in and out, join and leave.

Zygmunt Bauman

Isabel Burton

If 'Bobby McGee' lasts, if 'Star Is Born' lasts, if 'Help Me Make It through the Night' lasts, if all of 'em last, man... who cares?

Kris Kristofferson

There can be no reproach to pain unless we assume human dignity, there is no reason for restraints on pleasure unless we assume human worth, there is no legitimacy to monotony unless we assume a greater purpose to life, there is no purpose to life unless we assume design, death has no significance unless we seek what is everlasting.

Ravi Zacharias

I've worked on a variety of campaigns and fought for a variety of conservative causes for a long time. But it wasn't until I came back from my military service that I realized I needed to devote myself to others.

George P. Bush

Democracy... while it lasts is more bloody than either aristocracy or monarchy. Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There is never a democracy that did not commit suicide.

John Adams

Aphra Behn

The great source of pleasure is variety.

Samuel Johnson
