“But new love only lasts so long, and then you crash back into the real people you are, and from as high as we were, it's a very long fall, and we hit the ground with a thud.”

“In the long run, we only hit what we aim at.”

“Falling in love was like falling off a cliff. It felt pretty much like flying until you hit the ground.”

“Such Small Things:
For a long time there were only your footprints & laughter in our dreams & even from such small things, we knew we could not wait to love you forever.”

“We and the trees and the way
Back from the fields of play
Lasted as long as we could
No more walks in the wood”

“In this country, we rise or fall as one nation, as one people. Let's resist the temptation to fall back on the same partisanship and pettiness and immaturity that has poisoned our politics for so long.”

“I can't think of average. I have to go for the long ball. We have only Stargell to hit homers. You need more than one man. We have the best leadoff man in baseball in Matty Alou. He will get on base. We have to get the long hits.”

“Long live the walls we crashed through,
All the kingdom lights shined just for me and you.
I was screaming, "Long live all the magic we made,"
And bring on all the pretenders.
One day we will be remembered.”

“We like companionship, see, but we can't stand to be around people for very long. So we go get ourselves lost, come back for a while, then get the hell out again.”

“For while directly we say that it [the length of human life] is ages long, we are reminded that it is briefer than the fall of a rose leaf to the ground.”
