Linux Love

A woman was in love with fourteen soldiers.  It was clearly platoonic.

Absence diminishes mediocre passions and increases great ones,
as the wind blows out candles and fans fires.
                -- La Rochefoucauld

Absence in love is like water upon fire; a little quickens, but much
extinguishes it.
                -- Hannah More

Absence is to love what wind is to fire.  It extinguishes the small,
it enkindles the great.

All the passions make us commit faults; love makes us commit the most
ridiculous ones.
                -- La Rochefoucauld

Always there remain portions of our heart into which no one is able to enter,
invite them as we may.

Bondage maybe, discipline never!
                -- T.K.

Distrust all those who love you extremely upon a very slight acquaintance
and without any visible reason.
                -- Lord Chesterfield

Don't despair; your ideal lover is waiting for you around the corner.

Falling in Love
        When two people have been on enough dates, they generally fall in
love.  You can tell you're in love by the way you feel: your head becomes
light, your heart leaps within you, you feel like you're walking on air,
and the whole world seems like a wonderful and happy place.  Unfortunately,
these are also the four warning signs of colon disease, so it's always a
good idea to check with your doctor.
                -- Dave Barry
