Mark Twain quote: "Don't wake up a woman in love. Let her dream, so that she does..."
Don't wake up a woman in love. Let her dream, so that she does not weep when she returns to her bitter reality Mark Twain
But I remember seeing a mess of leaves suddenly go skittering in the wind and into the creek, then floating rapidly down the creek towards the sea, making me feel a nameless horror even then of 'Oh my God, we're all being swept away to sea no matter what we know or say or do Jack Kerouac
Princess Rose should indeed be a TV movie, assuming something doesn't go wrong. I don't know how good a movie it will be, because the way movie folk think is different from the way writers think, and I distrust what isn't done my way. This is what I call a healthy paranoia. Piers Anthony
