And anyway, life's too short....

J.K. Rowling

The happiness and misery of men depend no less on temper than fortune.

Francois de La Rochefoucauld

Sailing round the world in a dirty gondola oh, to be back in the land of Coca-Cola!

Bob Dylan

My love is like the shape your mouth makes while you whistle. Would you mind if I accompanied you on my harmonica? ?
