It’s not fair. People claim to know you through the things you’ve done, and not by sitting down and listening to you speak for yourself.

These violent delights have violent ends, and in there triumph die like fire and powder, which as they kiss, consume. The sweetest honey is loathsome in its own deliciousness. Therefore, love moderately.

Now it is true, to be sure, that one can have several friends…But with me that is after all not the case. I am wholly friends only with you, and that is how it shall remain.

Wasn’t that the definition of home? Not where you are from, but where you are wanted?
