McSweeney's Internet Tendency: Weekend at Rumi's.
In the early morning hour,
just before dawn, the two lovers wake
and sip from the leftover Franzia box wine.She asks, "Do you love me or yourself more?
Please, tell the absolute truth."He says, "Me.
But only because I have no clue who you are."

David Bowie - Station To Station
"Our earth is round, and, among other things, that means that you and I can hold completely different points of view and both be right. The difference of our positions will show stars in your window I cannot even imagine. Your sky may burn with light, while mine, at the same moment, spreads beautiful to darkness. Still we must choose how we separately corner the circling universe of our experience. Once chosen, our cornering will determine the message of any star and darkness we encounter."

Bruce Springsteen & Jackson Browne - Running On Empty
"The ancient pulse of germ and birth
Was shrunken hard and dry,
And every spirit upon earth
Seemed fervourless as I.
At once a voice arose among
The bleak twigs overhead
In a full-hearted evensong
Of joy illimited;
An aged thrush, frail, gaunt, and small,
In blast-beruffled plume,
Had chosen thus to fling his soul
Upon the growing gloom.
So little cause for carolings
Of such ecstatic sound
Was written on terrestrial things
Afar or nigh around,
That I could think there trembled through
His happy good-night air
Some blessed Hope, whereof he knew
And I was unaware."
- Thomas Hardy
