I hate the way you talk to me, and the way you cut your hair. I hate the way you drive my car. I hate it when you stare. I hate your big dumb combat boots, and the way you read my mind. I hate you so much it makes me sick; it even makes me rhyme. I hate it, I hate the way you're always right. I hate it when you lie. I hate it when you make me laugh, even worse when you make me cry. I hate it when you're not around, and the fact that you didn't call. But mostly I hate the way I don't hate you. Not even close, not even a little bit, not even at all. — Kat Stratford · 1999Intensity of love1 quote

Always is to joy inclin'd,
Lawless, wing'd, and unconfin'd,
And breaks all chains from every mind. — William Blake · 1792Red flags1 quote

Nice work if you can get it,
And you can get it if you try. — Ira Gershwin · 1937
