Companions, in misery and worse, that is what we all are, and to try to change this substantially avails us nothing.
Franz Liszt
Image
Companions the creator seeks, not corpses, not herds and believers. Fellow creators the creator seeks -- those who write new values on new tablets. Companions the creator seeks, and fellow harvesters for everything about him is ripe for the harvest.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
While eschewing emotion - and its companion, vulnerability - Obama should be careful not to sacrifice empathy, the 'I feel your pain' connection that sustained Clinton. This connection is the shorthand people use to measure their leaders' intentions. If people believe you're on their side, they will trust your decisions.
Dee Dee Myers
Image
My journal is my life's companion.
Christina Baldwin
Image
living for oneself is a bad thing. The keenest intellectual pleasure comes from being able to return to the self after being absent from it for a spell. But living all the time inside the self, that most tyrannical, demanding and capricious of companions - no, one shouldn't do it.
George Sand
Image
In marriage do thou be wise: prefer the person before money, virtue before beauty, the mind before the body then thou hast a wife, a friend, a companion, a second self.
William Penn
Image
I have always considered that choosing a companion for life was a very important affair and that my happyness or misery in this life depended on the choice.
Ezra Cornell
Image
As we seek Christ, as we find Him, as we follow Him, we shall have the Christmas spirit, not for one fleeting day each year, but as a companion always.
Thomas S. Monson
Image
O fallen angel, the companion within me, whisper something holy before you pinch me into the grave.
Anne Sexton
Image
Evil companions bring more hurt than profit.
Aesop
Image
The coquette has companions, indeed, but no lovers,--for love is respectful and timorous and where among her followers will she find a husband?
Samuel Johnson
Image
I've tried to use my love of music, and spoken word performance to create companion pieces for the book.
Rich Ferguson

Faustus: Stay, Mephistopheles, and tell me, what good will my soul do thy lord? Mephistopheles: Enlarge his kingdom. Faustus: Is that the reason he tempts us thus? Mephistopheles: Solamen miseris socios habuisse doloris. (It is a comfort to the wretched to have companions in misery)
Christopher Marlowe
Image
The father who raises a son to have a profession he once dreamed of, and the mother who uses her daughter as the adult companion her husband is not the parents who urge their children into accomplishments as status symbols-all these and many more are ways of subordinating a child's authentic self to a parent s needs.
Gloria Steinem
Image
Cats didn't start as mousers. Weasels and snakes and dogs are more efficient as rodent-control agents. I postulate that cats started as psychic companions, as Familiars, and have never deviated from this function.
William S. Burroughs
Image
Imagination took the reins, and reason, slow-paced, though sure-footed, was unequal to a race with so eccentric and flighty a companion.
Fanny Burney
Image
Sin has the devil for its father, shame for its companion, and death for its wages.
Thomas Watson
Image
We wish genius and morality where affectionate companions, but it is a fact that they are often bitter enemies. They don't necessarily coalesce any more than oil and water do.
Artemas Ward
Image
One must accept the fact that we have only one companion in this world, a companion who accompanies us from the cradle to the grave - our own self. Get on good terms with that companion - learn to live with yourself.
Agatha Christie
Image
Unless a woman has an amorous heart, she is a dull companion.
Samuel Johnson
Image
The teacher's life is painfull and therefore would be pityed: it wrastles with unthankfulnesse above all measure...Our calling creepes low and hath pain for companion.
Richard Mulcaster
Image
These books are my friends, my companions.
Christopher Paolini
Image
The singular man is singular in comparison to other men, but a companion of Heaven. So it is said, the petty man of Heaven is a gentleman among men the gentleman among men is the petty man of Heaven.
Burton Watson
Image
In our old age my beloved companion said to me quietly one evening, You have always given me wings to fly, and I have loved you for it.
Gordon B. Hinckley
