"And above all, you must be asking which door is the true one; not which pleases you best by its paint and panellingâ€¦the question should never be: â€˜Do I like that kind of service?â€™ but â€˜Are these doctrines true: Is holiness there? Does my conscience move me towards this? Is my reluctance to move to this door due to my pride, or my mere taste, or my personal dislike for this particular door-keeper?"

-- C. S. Lewis

“Some people are more experimental in bed and others are more boring. If you are wild and crazy, bring it on so the other person is well aware that you have little devil horns that come out every once in a while. It's good to make an effort to dress up sometimes, to do things outside of the norm.”
“I shall not mingle conjectures with certainties.”
