  • No matter how strong a condom is, it won't protect you from a broken heart.

  • When I was one-and-twenty I heard a wise man say, `Give crowns and pounds and guineas But not your heart away; Give pearls away and rubies But keep your fancy free.'

When I was one-and-twenty I heard him say again, `The heart out of the bosom Was never given in vain; 'Tis paid with sighs a plenty And sold for endless rue.' And I am two-and-twenty And oh, 'tis true, 'tis true.

  • And let her think I don't care she's with you? No can do. She needs to know what I want

  • It must be a balance in everything we do, not too much of everything, keep it simple, not complicated.

  • Those of us with too much invested in the way things are will never embrace the revolutionary cause required for wholesale change.

  • Maybe I thought too much about picking up the money and not enough about the really good parts.
