I love you so much I’ll never be able to tell you; I’m frightened to tell you. I can always feel your heart.

Pop music often tells you everything is OK, while rock music tells you that it's not OK, but you can change it. Bono
Readers of a certain class are apt to call good the plot of that story in which "you can't tell what is going to happen next." But in some of the most tedious novels ever written you can't tell what is going to happen next--and you don't care a fig what is going to happen next. Arnold Bennett
