“I love it, but it doesn't knock me out.
I think it's great, but it could be better.
I like it a lot, it's just not my cup of tea,
yet if you were to change the melody,
take out a part that you think should be here,
put in a part that wouldn't otherwise appear?
Well, it's only an idea.”

Gilbert O'Sullivan (1946) Irish singer-songwriter

"I hate it, but that doesn't mean it's bad.
In other words, I quite enjoyed it.
Apart from which, it's the best you've ever done
yet if you were to change the words
it would be superb... with perhaps a different melody...?"
"I Love It But..." (song)

“For the most part, romance novels are stories about women finding and taking up space for themselves. And not just taking up space, but daring to find happiness. And yes, romance novels are about the fantasy—the heterosexual fantasy—of having the perfect relationship with a man, but it’s also about women taking power over their sexuality, women taking control over their lives, women making themselves vulnerable to all the intimacies of love…”

Marjorie M. Liu (1979) American writer
