There are three kinds of patriots, two bad, one good. The bad ones are the uncritical lovers and the loveless critics. Good patriots carry on a lover's quarrel with their country, a reflection of God's lover's quarrel with all the world.

William Sloane Coffin

It was completely fruitless to quarrel with the world, whereas the quarrel with oneself was occasionally fruitful and always, she had to admit, interesting.

Soren Kierkegaard

A lover's quarrel is always about every quarrel you ever had.

Robert Breault

Our quarrel with the world is an echo of the endless quarrel proceeding within us.

Eric Hoffer

It ain't because lovers are so sensitive that they quarrel so often; it is because there is so much fun n the making up.

Josh Billings

your letters got sadder. your lovers betrayed you. kid, I wrote back, all lovers betray. it didn't help. you said you had a crying bench and it was by a bridge and the bridge was over the river and you sat on the crying bench every night and wept for the lovers who had hurt and forgotten you.

Charles Bukowski

I would have written of me on my stone: I had a lover's quarrel with the world.

Robert Frost

Indeed, when religious people quarrel about religion, or hungry people quarrel about victuals, it looks as if they had not much of either among them.

Benjamin Franklin

They'd never been lovers, of course, not in the physical sense. But they'd been lovers as most of us manage, loving through expressions and gestures and the palm set softly upon the bruise at the necessary moment. Lovers by inclination rather than by lust. Lovers, that is, by love.

Gregory Maguire

And were an epitaph to be my story I'd have a short one ready for my own. I would have written of me on my stone: I had a lover's quarrel with the world.

Robert Frost

We make out of the quarrel with others, rhetoric, but of the quarrel with ourselves, poetry.

William Butler Yeats

The quarrel is a very pretty quarrel as it stands - we should only spoil it by trying to explain it.

Richard Brinsley Sheridan

It requires two indiscreet persons to institute a quarrel; one individual cannot quarrel alone.

Aime Martin

We do not want churches because they will teach us to quarrel about God. We do not want to learn that. We may quarrel with men sometimes about things on this earth, but we never quarrel about the Great Spirit. We do not want to learn that.
