“Love is a smoke made with the fume of sighs;
Being purg'd, a fire sparkling in lovers' eyes;

A choking gall, and a preserving sweet.”
― William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet

“The cost of oblivius daydreaming was always this moment of return, the realigment with what had been before and now seemed a little worse.

It was difficult to come back.”
― Ian McEwan, Atonement

“Anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job.”
