WHY DIDN'T I KNOW THIS?

Well, when one uses paint, normally one gets covered in it. It's like the Universe is trying to make a joke, but it can't quite form the proper punchline.

Love is friendship; friendship is love. These two things I know to be true, for the marriages that last are fostered on friendship, and the friends that last are those who grow to love each other.

That's the problem with having a humongous country: You never get to go anywhere else.

Inspiration is such a fickle beast. I wish I could tame it.

Friends and Family:

I'm not an actress, she thought, but not only am I onstage, I've completely forgotten my lines. No, I don't even know which play I'm in, and I walked onstage naked. I'm naked, I was prepared for a burlesque, and now I'm supposed to be performing kabuki and I have bronchitis. I'm naked, I have bronchitis, I'm supposed to sing opera and the yakuza are threatening to give my entire family concrete shoes if I don't bring in the crowds and give them the moneys.

Sesshoumaru from Striking Falcon's "A Cross of Blades"

"With Kagome, trying to kill her seems to be the surest way of making friends."

Snape was looking as though the first person to ask him for a Love Potion would be force-fed poison.
--Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets by J.K. Rowling

--In all likelyhood, the test recipes for the anti-Crucio were probably hidden, or encrypted magically. The first thing Harry felt he needed to do was find a journal that was not what it seemed.
And then he had to decrypt it.
And then he had to understand the formula. Created by one of the most brilliant and paranoid Potions Masters to ever hold the title.
And then he had to recreate the bloody thing.
Perhaps there were some Dark Wizards he could go track down. He was much better at Dark Wizards.--
--Harry Potter fanfiction, "Snape's Memories" by paganaidd, chapter thirteen

When you view it from an adult perspective, first you're like, "that's such a simplistic view of love." But then you realize, maybe it is that simple.
