More from Garden of Eden

• Always do sober what you said you'd do drunk. That will teach you to keep your mouth shut.
• Happiness in intelligent people is the rarest thing I know.
• Never mistake motion for action.
• The world breaks us all. Afterward, some are stronger at the broken places.
• And in the middle of all this, I started to think about the one thing that makes me feel really good and makes immediate sense...and it's you.
• Absence diminishes commonplace passions and increases great ones, as the wind extinguishes candles and kindles fire.
