Favorite Quote:
The best things in life are unseen, that&#039;s why you close your eyes when you kiss, cry, or dream.<br /> What doesn&#039;t kill you, only makes you stronger.

Favorite Quote:
These violent delights have violent ends<br /> And in their triumph die, like fire and powder,<br /> Which, as they kiss, consume. The sweetest honey<br /> Is loathsome in his own deliciousness<br /> And in the taste confounds the appetite.<br /> Therefore love moderately.
