Linux Love

I'd love to kiss you, but I just washed my hair.
                -- Bette Davis, "Cabin in the Cotton"

        "I'll tell you what I know, then," he decided.  "The pin I'm wearing
means I'm a member of the IA.  That's Inamorati Anonymous.  An inamorato is
somebody in love.  That's the worst addiction of all."
        "Somebody is about to fall in love," Oedipa said, "you go sit with
them, or something?"
        "Right.  The whole idea is to get where you don't need it.  I was
lucky.  I kicked it young.  But there are sixty-year-old men, believe it or
not, and women even older, who might wake up in the night screaming."
        "You hold meetings, then, like the AA?"
        "No, of course not.  You get a phone number, an answering service
you can call.  Nobody knows anybody else's name; just the number in case
it gets so bad you can't handle it alone.  We're isolates, Arnold.  Meetings
would destroy the whole point of it."
                -- Thomas Pynchon, "The Crying of Lot 49"

If love is the answer, could you rephrase the question?
                -- Lily Tomlin

If Love Were Oil, I'd Be About A Quart Low
                -- Book title by Lewis Grizzard

If only you knew she loved you, you could face the uncertainty of
whether you love her.

If you can't be good, be careful.  If you can't be careful, give me a call.

If you love someone, set them free.
If they don't come back, then call them up when you're drunk.

In a great romance, each person basically plays a part that the
other really likes.
                -- Elizabeth Ashley

In an age when the fashion is to be in love with yourself, confessing to
be in love with somebody else is an admission of unfaithfulness to one's
beloved.
                -- Russell Baker

In love, she who gives her portrait promises the original.
                -- Bruton
