The past is a candle at great distance: too close to let you quit, too far to comfort you.

I do not say what I feel, and people often take that for shyness, even kindness.

Great sex is not a pleasant soak in the tub, with the scented candle burning. Great sex is more like a bomb exploding inside your right mind.
