“Please don’t carve me another heart—‘tis easier to photosynthesize than to love”
“Tis easier to suppress the first desire than to satisfy all that follow it.”
“Did I have a heart to be contented? Well, no, not particularly. I had a tendency to be discontented: ambitious, dissatisfied, fretful, and tough to please...It's easier to complain than to laugh, easier to yell than to joke around, easier to be demanding than to be satisfied.”
“If there's delight in love, 'Tis when I see that heart, which others bleed for, bleed for me.”
“Imaginative literature primarily pleases rather than teaches. It is much easier to be pleased than taught, but much harder to know why one is pleased. Beauty is harder to analyze than truth.”
“Love is the fart Of every heart: It pains a man when 'tis kept close, And others doth offend, when 'tis let loose. ”
