&quot;Absence from the ones we love is self from self-- a deadly banishment.&quot; -William Shakespere<br /> <br /> &quot;Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.&quot; -Leonardo De Vinci<br /> <br /> &quot;Seduce my mind<br /> ...and speak those words to the point of<br /> contradiction.<br /> Hypocrisy never seemed so beautiful.<br /> Your lips have it down to an<br /> art. Oh, I know I&#039;m in love with<br /> wordplay.<br /> Speak to me,<br /> &#039;til your lips are numb.<br /> We&#039;ll always have pen and paper. &quot; -By Anonymous, Mississauga, Canada
