“It was over. The world will continue to turn and there will still be jobs and seasons and kissing and chocolate; there just won’t be any music in it any more. We can bite the fruit and understand that it is sweet but not taste it.”

“Is he not approved in the height a villain that hath slandered, scorned, dishonoured my kinswoman? O that I were a man!

I love them, and I love you.”
