"Freedom is the emancipation from the arbitrary rule of other men." ― Mortimer Adler Topic(s): Romantic More From Mortimer Adler "It is love rather than sexual lust or unbridled sexuality if, in addition to the need or want involved, there is also some impulse to give pleasure to the persons thus loved and not merely to use them for our own selfish pleasure." "One of the embarrassing problems for the early nineteenth-century champions of the Christian faith was that not one of the first six Presidents of the United States was an orthodox Christian." "When we ask for love, we don’t ask others to be fair to us-but rather to care for us, to be considerate of us. There is a world of difference here between demanding justice… and begging or pleading for love." More In Romantic "I am a big fan of the old Howard Hawks films from the 30s and 40s, I was a big Hepburn and Tracey fan for a while and Woody Allen films that are a very different kind of romantic comedy."― Edward Burns "I’m a big romantic, traditional, cheesy guy."― Josh Hutcherson "The essence of romantic love is that wonderful beginning, after which sadness and impossibility may become the rule."― Anita Brookner
