“It’s become trite, that old saying of John Lennon’s:  “Life is what happens when you’re busy making other plans.” But, how right he was.  We never know where Life will take us.  We can dream, plan, and some quirk in the road will take us to another road.  The book is written about our lives before we are even born.  We can fight it, try to turn it around, ignore it, but our life ends up the way it was written.”
― Susan Marie Molloy, The Green Gloves

“Making love with a woman and sleeping with a woman are two separate passions, not merely different but opposite. Love does not make itself felt in the desire for copulation (a desire that extends to an infinite number of women) but in the desire for shared sleep (a desire limited to one woman).”
― Milan Kundera, The Unbearable Lightness of Being
