“To tell someone,

not to be emotional,

is to tell them

to be dead.”

(Jeanett Winterson)

“What happens, when people open their hearts?

They get better.”

(Haruki Murakami)

“Don't talk to me of love. Let's talk of Paris,
The little bit of Paris in our view.
There's that crack across the ceiling
and the hotel walls are peeling
and I'm in Paris with you.”

(James Fenton)
