Of what use is freedom of speech to those who fear to offend?
One of the most sublime and hazardous moments in human experience comes when two people lock eyes and realize that they are sexually attracted to one another. They may not act on the knowledge.

Your intellect may be confused, but your emotions will never lie to you.
