Linux Love

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 --
Scratch a lover and find a foe!
                -- 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
and animals.  When exposed to light they undergo photosynthesis; and when
the lights go out, they turn into animals.  But then again, don't we all?

There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear.

There is only one way to be happy by means of the heart -- to have none.
                -- Paul Bourget

There's so much to say but your eyes keep interrupting me.

Timing must be perfect now.  Two-timing must be better than perfect.

To be loved is very demoralizing.
                -- Katharine Hepburn

To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three
parts dead.
                -- Bertrand Russell
