"Men do less than they ought, unless they do all that they can." "Music is well said to be the speech of angels." More In Love "It’s tangible, it’s solid, it’s beautiful. It’s artistic, from my standpoint, and I just love real estate."― Donald Trump "We are not the same persons this year as last; nor are those we love. It is a happy chance if we, changing, continue to love a changed person."― W. Somerset Maugham "Because we have so much eye candy and mind candy, spending so much time trying to pay the rent, all of this conspires to keep us from thinking too hard or taking action from that. Our time is stolen. So much of our daily life is stolen."― Lydia Lunch
