Linux Love

The myth of romantic love holds that once you've fallen in love with the
perfect partner, you're home free.  Unfortunately, falling out of love
seems to be just as involuntary as falling into it.

The story of the butterfly:
        "I was in Bogota and waiting for a lady friend.  I was in love,
a long time ago.  I waited three days.  I was hungry but could not go
out for food, lest she come and I not be there to greet her.  Then, on
the third day, I heard a knock."
        "I hurried along the old passage and there, in the sunlight,
there was nothing."
        "Just," Vance Joy said, "a butterfly, flying away."
                -- Peter Carey, BLISS

The sweeter the apple, the blacker the core --

                -- Dorothy Parker, "Ballad of a Great Weariness"

The way to love anything is to realize that it might be lost.

There are some micro-organisms that exhibit characteristics of both plants

the lights go out, they turn into animals.  But then again, don't we all?
