“I am sitting on the sofa.
By the fire and staying in.
Me head is free of comfort
And me nose is free of skin
Me friends have run for cover,
They have left me pale and sick
With me pockets full of tissues
And me nostrils full of Vick.”

“No friend ever served me, and no enemy ever wronged me, whom I have not repaid in full.”

“True love has be-guided me, O friend!
Reveal to me the land of my Beloved.
At my parents' I was an innocent maid.
With love to me He has robbed me of my heart.
Logic, semantics and a store of knowledge—
Such pedantry has left me devoid of Him.
Of what use are fasts and prayers to them,
Who have drunk deep from the front of love?
Sitting in the company of the Spouse,
Bullah is free from all rituals, O friend!”

“Do you love me Hero?" His pale green eyes were full of torment. "Do you love me like I love you?”

“Gotta head full of ideas that are driving me insane…”

“Now I alone sit by the fire,
And one remains of three;
For two have got their heart's desire
And left their grief to me.”

“They don't know my head's full of me
And that I have my own special thing,
And there's no hole in my head.
Too bad.”

“Other refuge have I none;
Hangs my helpless soul on Thee;
Leave, ah, leave me not alone,
Still support and comfort me!
All my trust on Thee is stayed,
All my help from Thee I bring;
Cover my defenseless head
With the shadow of Thy wing.”

“Pride fills me. I am sick with the pride that destroyed me.”

“I am too sick to lay down
the sidewalks frighten me
the whole damned city frightens me,
what I will become
what I have become
frightens me.”
