"Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides.
And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part.
Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being "in love" which any of us can convince ourselves we are.
Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident.
Your mother and I had it, we had roots that grew towards each other underground, and when all the pretty blossom had fallen from our branches we found that we were one tree and not two."
- Captain Corelli's Mandolin.
Happiness or a ham sandwich?
Which is better, eternal happiness or a ham sandwich? It would appear that eternal happiness is better, but this is really not so! After all, nothing is better than eternal happiness, and a ham sandwich is certainly better than nothing. Therefore a ham sandwich is better than eternal happiness.
Proof that I am Dracula
(1) Everyone is afraid of Dracula.
(2) Dracula is afraid of only me.
Therefore I am Dracula.
Doesn't that argument sound like just a silly joke? Well it isn't, it is valid. Since everyone is afraid of Dracula, then Dracula is afraid of Dracula. So Dracula is afraid of Dracula, but also is afraid of no one but me. Therefore I must be Dracula!

She was not what they had thought,
The real her was hidden behind her many faces.
She knew she had what it would take,
She wasn't going to give up her dream for fluffs and laces
She wanted to take on the world,
Wanted to make her mark.
With nothing to hold her back,
She decided to walk away from the dark.
Finally, now she was famous,
She was the star.
For years she had slogged,
And now she was at the top of the tower.
She did hurt a few people,
She did break some dreams.
But she had risen above them all,
So far away that she couldn't hear there screams.
Now above all at the top,
She was a bit lonely.
But she had earned this,
And this was hers and hers only.
All through her life,
Even when she was young and keen,
She always got what she wanted,
Even if she had to be mean.
She always loved the limelight,
And all its shine and sheen.
She had done everything to get where she was.
My beautiful & extravagant, My love, My drama queen.
