The haiku lets meaning float; the aphorism pins it down.
Beauty and virtue: the most kissable ass in the world is no guarantee of good intentions.
Enjoy the insult as you deliver it, before you learn its cost.
Even alone we go on justifying ourselves.
Some loves are like a vice that has ceased to give pleasure.
The irrational may be attractive in the abstract, but not in cab drives, dinner guests, or elderly relatives.
