&quot;One man&#039;s trash, is another man&#039;s treasure.&quot; - Cute Is What We Aim For<br /> <br /> ...&quot;You have to lie to tell the truth&quot; - Anonymous<br /> <br /> &quot;Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.&quot; 1 Corinthians 13<br /> <br /> <br /> &quot;Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being &quot;in love&quot; which any of us can convince ourselves we are. Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident. Your mother and I had it, we had roots that grew towards each other underground, and when all the pretty blossoms had fallen from our branches we found that we were one tree and not two.&quot; -St. Augustine<br /> <br /> &quot;I became insane, with long intervals of horrible sanity.&quot; -Edgar Allan Poe<br /> <br /> &quot;Girls fall in love with what they hear, Boys fall in love with what they see. Thats why, Girls wear makeup, and Boys lie.&quot; - Anonymous<br /> <br /> &quot;Even if happiness forgets you a little bit, never completely forget about it.&quot; - Jacques Pr&eacute;vert<br /> <br /> &quot;Most people would rather be certain they&#039;re miserable, than risk being happy.&quot; - Robert Anthony
