Never try to impress a woman, because if you do shell expect you to keep up the standard for the rest of your life. – W. C. Fields

Ships that pass in the night, and speak each other in passing, only a signal shown, and a distant voice in the darkness So on the ocean of life, we pass and speak one another, only a look and a voice, then darkness again and a silence. – Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
