The Sentimentalist's Equation
Those who are faithless know the pleasures of love; it is the faithful who know love's tragedies.
Oscar Wilde
The heart is a terrible thing. It is a thing with teeth and all the voracity of a shrew. It knows not satiation-- only the idea (its sole driving purpose). It has no eyes to see what glory it inspires in foolish men, only a nose to point it where there is food; And a mouth with no tongue for savouring... Only teeth.
The heart is a most terrible thing. It turns cannibal once denied.

I'm still looking for the fairy tale, you grimm sister. =)
Aren't I one? And aren't these? All our ideas, all our conceptions, sooner than later are proven to be false. False they must be but given still in return for comfort and familiarity.
