“Once we are born, we begin to forget
The very reason we cane
But you I'm sure I've met
Long before the night the stars went out
We're meeting up again”
― Bono, Surrender: 40 Songs, One Story

“Yes, I'd rather be shy than smart; a foolish diffidence constrains my heart. I reach for a star; then, from a morbid dread of ridicule, I pluck a flower instead.”
― Edmond Rostand, Cyrano de Bergerac

“Privately I've always considered myself to have some talent for measuring a woman's mood. But the expression on (her) face is forcing me to reconsider. Not blank, but the opposite. Regret coexisting with pride, with hints of resentment, joy, frustration, shame, resignation, and curiosity. When it comes to emotions, women know how to paint with the full set of oils, while men are busy doodling with crayons”
― Hank Moody, God Hates Us All

“I'd given myself a license to look back, to lift up stones under which I knew lay creepy-crawlies.”
― Bono, Surrender: 40 Songs, One Story
