If youre a woman and a guys ever said anything romantic to you, he just left off the second part that would have made you sick if you could have heard it. – Louis C. K.

To lovers, I devise their imaginary world, with whatever they may need, as the stars of the sky, the red, red roses by the wall, the snow of the hawthorn, the sweet strains of music, and aught else they may desire to figure to each other the lastingness and beauty of their love. – Williston Fish, "A Last Will," 1898
