Hemingway said, There is quite the difference between kissing goodbye and kissing goodnight. I wanted a "See you later", but instead got the "Goodbye". Steinbeck stated that Nothing good gets away, If it's right, it happens. If that's the case how did we always end up feeling so wrong? Salinger suggested that after falling in love you never know where the hell you are. This, I can say is true. Where the hell are we? Dickens declared that The truest wisdom comes from a loving heart. Yet a heart in love can sometimes turn out to be the least wise. My friend, I think I'll just stick with Orson Welles' theory: "We're born alone, we live alone, we die alone." Anything else is simply illusion.
