Those who wished only to exploit my past failings, not forgive them, would get no help from me. (Clarence Thomas)

Alexis de Tocqueville

You can have everything in the world and still be the loneliest man. And that is the most bitter type of loneliness, success has brought me world idolisation and millions of pounds. But it's prevented me from having the one thing we all need: A loving, ongoing relationship.
