For everyone who deplores everything that this day stands for.
Neil Gaiman from "The Sandman : The Kindly ones"
"Have you even been in love? Horrible, isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens your heart and it means someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses. You build up this whole armor, for years, so nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life... You give them a piece of you. They don't ask for it. They do something dumb one day like kiss you, or smile at you, and then your life isn't your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so a simple phrase like "maybe we should just be friends" or "how very perceptive" turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It's a soul-hurt, a body-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. I hate love."
Have a quiz on quantum mechanics tomorrow, else i would have had more to say....

I so agree. I'd say even more but I'm on my third cup of tea for the day and I've spent the major part of my day with people in love/crushing/lovesick and byung gifts for my friends' significant others. Enough is enough, I tell you! *shakes fist violently*
You know it ain't love unless it's eating you alive when you're in your bed at night..
