"She began to understand why lovers talk baby talk to one another. There was no other socially acceptable circumstance in which the children inside her were permitted to come out. If the one-year-old, the five-year- old, the twelve-year-old, and the twenty-year-old all find compatible personalities in the beloved, there is a real chance to keep all of these sub-personas happy. Love ends their long loneliness. Perhaps the depth of love can be calibrated by the number of different selves that are actively involved in a given relationship."

Carl Sagan, Contact

"The road to Hell is paved with good intentions."

This quote is often attributed to St. Bernard of Clairvaux, but has not been found in any of his writings, and the earliest attribution to him is from 1640, 500 years after St. Bernard lived. However, there are passages expressing a similar sentiment in the Aeneid, the book of Sirach from the Bible, and the Koran. While we don't know who exactly first worded it this way, this expression seems to be fairly common wisdom handed down from ancient times.
