"Love is whatever you can still betray. Betrayal can only happen if you love." ― John le Carre Topic(s): Love More From John le Carre "I mean, I’m in the business of storytelling, not message making." "I don’t know whether it’s age or maturity, but I certainly find myself committed more and more to the looser forms of Western democracy at any price." "More particularly, having a largely German-oriented education has made me very responsive to 19th-century German literature." More In Love "If we’re destroying our trees and destroying our environment and hurting animals and hurting one another and all that stuff, there’s got to be a very powerful energy to fight that. I think we need more love in the world. We need more kindness, more compassion, more joy, more laughter. I definitely want to contribute to that."― Ellen DeGeneres "To love abundantly is to live abundantly, and to love forever is to live forever."― Henry Drummond "I honestly think it is better to be a failure at something you love than to be a success at something you hate."― George Burns
