"It was the summer when life and love seemed only a sigh apart...when the future lay prone before you...like a woman...beguiling,,,seductive...eternal."
-Milo Bloom
"I want to depart this life with honorable steel piercing my heart, and a piercing epigram upon my lips."
"She's a woman. It follows that she loves
Herself so well she's ready to believe
This is for her alone. It began with Eve,
That delusion of uniqueness."
-Cyrano de Bergerac

The Parable of Saint Victor (as told by Monty Python)
"And it came to pass that Saint Victor was taken from this place to another
place. Where he was lain to rest himself amongst sheets of muslin and velvet.
"And there was stroked was he by maidens of the Orient.
"For sixteen days stroked they him, yea verily and caressed him.
"His hair, ruffled they. And their fingers rubbethed they in oil of olives,a
nd ranneth them across all parts of his body for as much as to soothe him.
"And the soles of his feet licked they. And the upper parts of his thigh
did they anoint with the balm of forbidden trees.
"And with the teeth of their mouths, nibbled they the pointed bits at the
top of his ears. Yea verily, and did their tongues thereof make themselves
acquainted with his most secret places.
"For fifteen days and nights did Victor withstand these maidens, until he
cried out, saying:
"'This... is fantastic! Oh... this is *terrific*!!'
"And the LORD did hear the cry of Victor. And verily came He down and slew
the maidens. And caused their cottonwool bugs to blow away, and their Kleenex
to be laid waste utterly.
"And Victor, in his anguish, cried out that the LORD was a rotten bastard.
"So the LORD sent an angel to comfort Victor for the weekend.
"And entered they together the Jacuzzi."
Here endeth the lesson.

rjbarbal (Richard J. Barbalace):
When in disgrace with fortune and men's eyes
I all alone beweep my outcast state,
And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries,
And look upon myself and curse my fate,
Wishing me like to one more rich in hope,
Featured like him, like him with friends possessed,
Desiring this man's art, and that man's scope,
With what I most enjoy contented least;
Yet in these thoughts myself almost despising,
Haply I think on thee - and then my state,
Like to the lark at break of day arising
From sullen earth, sings hymns at heaven's gate;
For thy sweet love remembered, such wealth brings
That then I scorn to change my state with kings.
- William Shakespeare

therese (Therese):
At the still point of destruction
At the centre of the fury
All the angels all the devils
All around us can't you see
There is a deeper wave than this
Rising in the land
There is a deeper wave than this
Nothing will withstand...
- Sting,
Dream of the Blue Turtles
