I only wish that you would return home to me
And I could bathe in your familiarity
But I realise this is a hopeless dream
We have traveled too far
-Dear Reader, Elephant
Oh, there ain’t no love, no Montagues or Capulets
Are just banging tunes and DJ sets and…
Dirty dance floors, and dreams of naughtiness!
-Arctic Monkeys, I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor
So I was sitting there in the bar and this guy comes up to me and he said “My life stinks” and I saw his gold credit card and I saw the way he was looking at people across the room and I looked at his face and you know, what a good looking face, and I just said, “Dude, your perspective on life sucks”.
-Mika, Blame It on the Girls
This is the way you left me,
I’m not pretending.
No hope, no love, no glory,
No Happy Ending.
This is the way that we love,
Like it’s forever.
Then live the rest of our life,
But not together.
-Mika, Happy Ending
I was walking with my momma one day
When she warned me what people say
Live your life until love is found
Or love’s gonna get you down
-Mika, Lollipop
“If you love someone, set them free. If they come back, they’re yours; if they don’t, they never were.”

“Men have forgotten this truth,” said the fox. “But you must not forget it. You become responsible, forever, for what you have tamed. You are responsible for your rose…”
— Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince
I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain.
-Frank Herbert, Dune
