Why not spend that time on art: painting, sculpting, charcoal, pastel, oils? Are words or numbers more important than images? Who decides this? Does algebra move you to tears?

C. Sproul

Poets are the unacknowledged legislators of the world. — Percy Bysshe Shelley
I am in no doubt that if you use the term 'luv' in a letter or text message then you are incapable of truly understanding the emotion.
