“My dear,
Find what you love and let it kill you.
Let it drain you of your all. Let it cling onto your back and weigh you down into eventual nothingness.
Let it kill you and let it devour your remains.
For all things will kill you, both slowly and fastly, but it’s much better to be killed by a lover.
~ Falsely yours”
― Kinky Friedman

“Let us forget with generosity those who cannot love us”
― Pablo Neruda

“Where should one use perfume?" a young woman asked. "Wherever one wants to be kissed.”
― Coco Chanel
