    Muriel Bedford: It isn’t every day that your only son gets married.
    Judge Bedford: He’s your son, too, Muriel. I mean it’s about time you started taking half the blame.
    Dale Launer (b. 1953)

    The idea that nations should love one another, or that business concerns or marketing boards should love one another, or that a man in Portugal should love a man in Peru of whom he has never heard—it is absurd, unreal, dangerous.... The fact is we can only love what we know personally. And we cannot know much.
    —E.M. (Edward Morgan)
