“You know you're in love when you can't fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.”
Dr. Seuss

Shel Silverstein, Where the Sidewalk Ends

Dr. Seuss
“And the turtles, of course...all the turtles are free, as turtles and, maybe, all creatures should be.”
Dr. Seuss, Yertle the Turtle and Other Stories
