For man not only loves himself, but seeks another whose spirit he may so blend with his own as almost to make one being of two....Virtue (without which friendship is impossible) is first; but next to it, and to it alone the greatest of all things is Friendship.
YALE SCHOOL OF DRAMA PRESENTS
—CICERO, ON FRIENDSHIP, 44 BCE
A person of good character draws the love of another person of the same kind... A man who proves to be honorable and prudent cannot easily go astray in love’s path or cause distress to his beloved.... A wise woman...can easily teach a wise lover to be even wiser, and if he isn’t so wise she can restrain him and make him careful. —ANDREAS CAPELLANUS, THE ART OF COURTLY LOVE, 1184–6
The Courtier must accompany his actions, gestures, habits, in short his every movement, with grace… [and] avoid affectation to the uttermost and as it were a very sharp and dangerous rock. —CASTIGLIONE, THE BOOK OF THE COURTIER, 1528
To live ironically is to hide in public.... Moving away from the ironic involves saying what you mean, meaning what you say and considering seriousness and forthrightness as expressive possibilities.... It means undertaking the cultivation of sincerity.... It might also consist of an honest self-inventory. —CHRISTY WAMPOLE, THE NEW YORK TIMES, 2012
