Quote by Mini Menon

“Remember water...H2O. We all learnt it in school. It is fluid and flexible. It will simmer, boil, evaporate, freeze, and regenerate. It can be contained in a glass if need be. It can spread across wide surfaces. It will turn into light droplets and travel as clouds. Basic science! Life is like water. It adapts.”

They will say: those people were doing penance for something! ... We have driven our libido underground.” — Jaime de Angulo, written in a letter to his friend and mentor, the linguist Edward Sapir (Appears in the introduction to "Tracks Along the Left Coast" by Andrew Schelling)”

“I think you will tire first, all the same. Some day you will look at him and he will seem to you to be a little out of drawing, or you won't like his tone of color, or something. You will bitterly reproach him in your own heart, and seriously think he has behaved very badly to you. The next time he calls you will be perfectly cold and indifferent. It will be a great pity, for it will alter you. The worst of having a romance is that it leaves one so unromantic.”
