“Says she loves me
Yes, yes she does
Gonna show me tonight, yeah She got the way to move me, Cherry”

Song lyrics, The Feel of Neil Diamond (1966)
Speaking Of Love (1980)
Context: Go around — listen to how many times a day you say, "I love" instead of, "I hate." Isn't it interesting that children, as they learn the process of language, always learn the word "no" years before they learn the word "yes"? Ask linguists where they hear it. Maybe if they heard more of "I love, I love, I love" they'd hear it sooner and more often.
“Learn to say 'no' to the good so you can say 'yes' to the best.”
Top 15 quotes from PepsiCo CEO Indra Nooyi
Lo que dicen las palabras no dura. Duran las palabres. Porque las palabras son siempre las mismas y lo que dicen no es nunca lo mismo.
