42...?

"We cannot understand each other, except in a rough and ready way; we cannot reveal ourselves, even when we want to; what we call intimacy is only a makeshift; perfect knowledge is an illusion. But in the novel we can know people perfectly, and, we can find here a compensation for their dimness in life."

- E.M. Forster

SMELLS LIKE TEEN SPIRIT
 
Load up on guns and bring your friends
It's fun to lose and to pretend
She's overboard and self assured
Oh no, I know, a dirty word
 
Hello, hello, hello, how low?
 
I'm worse at what I do best
And for this gift I feel blessed
Our little group has always been
And always will until the end
 
Hello, hello, hello, how low?
 
And I forget just why I taste
Oh yeah, I guess, it makes me smile
I found it hard, it was hard to find
Oh well, whatever, never mind
 
With the lights out it's less dangerous
Here we are now, entertain us
Acting stupid, and contagious
Here we are now, entertain us
A mulatto, an albino, a mosquito, my libido
Yay, a denial

- Nirvana (no shit, huh?)

"Love is pain, highness... anyone who tells you differently is selling something."

- 'The Princess Bride'

"It's sometimes just like sleeping.
Curling up inside my private tortures,
I nestle into pain,
Hug suffering."

- Bjork

"I had lately learned that another way of writing 'fall in love' is 'walk the plank'."

- Jeanette Winterson

"Some say love is blind but in reality it doesn't see half that well."
