“Lovers to-day and for all time
Preserve the meaning of my rhyme:
Love is not kindly nor yet grim
But does to you as you to him.”

“I was promised on a time
To have reason for my rhyme;
From that time unto this season,
I received nor rhyme nor reason.”

“And you,
You can be mean
And I,
I'll drink all the time
'Cause we're lovers,
And that is a fact
Yes we're lovers,
And that is that”

“Just because you are having a nasty day, does not mean you live a grim life!

What keeps us going and determined is optimism – the doctrine or belief that everything is beautiful, including what is ugly.”

“You shall not know her — she who sat
Unconscious in my heart all time
I dream'd and wove this wayward rhyme,
And loved and did not blush thereat.”

“He was the mighty Fezzik, lover of rhymes, and you did not give up, no matter what.”

“Just because someone does not love you as you want, it does not mean that you do not love with all his being.”

“Then all you lovers have good heed
Vex not young Love in word or deed:
Love never leaves an unpaid debt,
He will not pardon nor forget.”

“Where does discontent start? You are warm enough, but you shiver. You are fed, yet hunger gnaws you. You have been loved, but your yearning wanders in new fields. And to prod all these there’s time, the Bastard Time.”

“My life is a rather grim one. One day I shall perhaps describe it to you in great detail.”
