    Jane Austen

    All the evening, from his empty mug
    With gleaming eye glanced towards us:
    "I seen 'em myself!" he said fiercely.”

    Tom Robbins
    “Love is the ultimate outlaw. It just won't adhere to any rules. The most any of us can do is to sign on as its accomplice. Instead of vowing to honor and obey, maybe we should swear to aid and abet. That would mean that security is out of the question. The words "make" and "stay" become inappropriate. My love for you has no strings attached. I love you for free.”

    David Rakoff
    “Is there some lesson on how to be friends?
    I think what it means is that central to living
    a life that is good is a life that's forgiving.
    We're creatures of contact regardless of whether
    we kiss or we wound. Still, we must come together.
    Though it may spell destruction, we still ask for more--
    since it beats staying dry but so lonely on shore.
    So we make ourselves open while knowing full well
    it's essentially saying "please, come pierce my shell.”
