“What wondrous life is this I lead! Ripe apples drop about my head; The luscious clusters of the vine Upon my mouth do crush their wine; The nectarine and curious peach Into my hands themselves do reach; Stumbling on melons, as I pass, Ensnared with flowers, I fall on grass.”
“Our mechanics are engineered so that we can survive quite a lot, but I think our need to be loved is so great that itâ€™s the thing that damages us the most.”
