Compassion is the basis of morality. When I look at my room, I see a girl who loves books. Break my heart. Break it a thousand times if you like. It was only ever yours to break anyway. To be a Christian means to forgive the inexcusable because God has forgiven the inexcusable in you. A purpose of human life, no matter who is controlling it, is to love whoever is around to be loved. The earth has its music for those who will listen The only way to get rid of temptation is to yield to it. I know it's wrong - God, it's all kinds of wrong - but I just want to lie down with you and wake up with you, just once, just once ever in my life. If A is a success in life, then A equals x plus y plus z. Work is x; y is play; and z is keeping your mouth shut There are no faster or firmer friendships than those formed between people who love the same books.
