Cheeky,
I am never one to refuse a polite invitation, so thank you!
I often recall quotes from those who have expressed themselves with eloquence or great insight and use their words instead of my own at times as I am not blessed with a lot of creativity or imagination.
So, being that I had this list of quotes handy, and since you seem to be quite the flirt on SI...errrr, I mean quite the romantic <ggg>, I thought this would be a great time to share them. Feel free to use them in your pmails to the ladies of SI, though they would surely carry more weight with lisa if you translated them into Francais!!!! LOL!!
Enjoy and feel free to add to the list at will! I should check one those books of quotations...
xoxo,
V.

It's very like a lizard.
It twines itself round the heart
And penetrates your gizzard!"

"Finding the cool satisfaction of heaven in the heated embers of the
pit."
-Warren Goldberg
"I'd gladly lose me to find you.
I'd gladly give up all I got.
To find you, I'd suffer anything and be glad...
I'd pay any price just to win you...
surrender my good life for bad.
To get you, I'd run naked, stoned & stabbed!
I'd call that a bargain, the best I ever had....
[refrain]
In life, one and one don't make two, one and one make one. And I'm
lookin' for....that free ride to me, I'm lookin' for you!"
-The Who, "Bargain"
"Consists essentially of respect for the other person, and unwillingness to use that person solely as a means of personal gratification."
-Bertrand A. Russell
"Consists essentially of telling the other person that you respect her, then willingly using that person solely as a means of personal gratification."
