Miss Waxham: P.S. I like you very much. Ethel Waxham, correspondence with John Love, cited Ken Burns, The West VIII: One Sky Above Us I 1887-1914
I think the importance of life is to like yourself. If you don’t like yourself nothing means anything ... What’s the point of living if you don’t like who you are? Aaron Russo, interview Alex Jones
Only Reason can convince us of those three fundamental truths without a recognition of which there can be no effective liberty: that what we believe is not necessarily true; that what we like is not necessarily good; and that all questions are open. Clive Bell, 1881-1964, English art critic
I do not want people to be very agreeable, as it saves me the trouble of liking them a great deal. Jane Austen

There is nothing in the whole world so painful as feeling that one is not liked. It always seems to me that people who hate me must be suffering from some strange form of lunacy. Sei Shonagon
What are you like? The Catherine Tate show s2e5, Paul
You’ll like this. Not a lot. But you’ll like it. Paul Daniels
I’ll start with the happy ending; I don’t like Tony Blair or New Labour. I’ve never liked them and I knew all along I didn’t like them.
This is the optimistic outcome of the twenty-five years covered in this book. Not that many other people like them, though lots thought they did, because they didn’t feel anything better was possible. So polls showed Blair as the most popular Prime Minister of the 20th century. But who do you know who liked him? No one. He was the most unpopular person there had ever been. He reminded me of an irritating idiot at a party, who everyone wishes would leave, but no one dares tell him to because everyone thinks he’s everyone else’s friend. Mark Steel, Reasons to be Cheerful
He’s [Don Revie] a talented man, and I don’t like him. The Frost Interview: Brian Clough, 1974
I like strong leaders and the resurgence of Russia on the world stage. I dislike liberalism, R&B and eggs. Mandy III: Russian, Sergei, BBC 2020
