I'm not sure that it's right to view this as excluding a particular group. when the institution of marriage developed historically, people didn't get around and say, 'let's have this institution, but let's keep out homosexuals.' the institution developed to serve purposes that, by their nature, didn't include homosexual couples.

More From John Roberts

No, i am not a homosexual. if i were a homosexual, i would hope i would have the courage to say so. what's cruel is that you are forcing me to say i am not a homosexual. this means you are putting homosexuals down. i don't want to do that.

If all persons with any trace of homosexual history, or those who were predominantly homosexual, were eliminated from the population today, there is no reason for believing that the incidence of the homosexual in the next generation would be materially reduced. the homosexual has been a significant part of human sexual activity since the dawn of history, primarily because it is an expression of capacities that are basic in the human animal.

We [panthers] have not said much about the homosexual at all, but we must relate to the homosexual movement because it is a real thing. and i know through reading, and through my life experience and observations that homosexuals are not given freedom and liberty by anyone in the society. they might be the most oppresed people in the society.

All rights are individual. we do not get our rights because we belong to a group. whether it's homosexuals, women, minorities, it leads us astray. you don't get your rights belonging to your group. a group can't force themselves on anybody else. so there should be no affirmative action for any group.

Aids is the wrath of a just god against homosexuals. to oppose it would be like an israelite jumping in the red sea to save one of pharaoh's charioteers. aids is not just god's punishment for homosexuals. it is god's punishment for the society that tolerates homosexuals.

May this marriage be blessed.may this marriage be as sweet as milk and honey.may this marriage be as intoxicating as old wine.may this marriage be fruitful like a date tree.may this marriage be full of laughter and everyday a paradise.may this marriage be a seal of compassion for here and hereafter.may this marriage be as welcome as the full moon in the night sky.listen lovers, now you go on, as i become silent and kiss this blessed night.

Love that has nothing but beauty to keep it in good health is short-lived.

Nothing beats love. love is the greatest healing power there is; nothing else comes close. not ancient cures, modern medicines and technologies, or all the interesting books we read or the wise things we say and think. love has a transformational power.

No, make me mistress to the man i love; if there be yet another name more free more fond than mistress, make me that to thee!

It's lovely to have money to give away - that's the bonus of winning the nobel.
