Men freely believe that which they desire.

Julius Caesar

Thou strange piece of wild nature!

Colley Cibber

Then, one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life...you give them a piece of you. They don't ask for it. They do something dumb one day like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn't your own anymore.
