if I may, some e.e. cummings that might make you smile:

and how do you like your

boy
mr. death?

y'know...lauren doesn't like him for some reason. makes my head spin!

I really dig him...I'm Radha. Nice to meet(ish) you, Andy!

So I guess quoting e.e. cummings won't make you smile, then, Lauren, so here's some de Sade for, er..., whatever mood you get in when you read him (for me its usually eyes glazed boredom, as most of his stuff is way overrated):

Every death, even the most cruel
Drowns in the total indifference of nature.

Nice to meet you, too! I dig cummings...de Sade, too, actually, not so much for his quotes as his general philosophies on law and morality.

All universal moral principles are idle fancies.

...and a couple for Lauren's benefit, given her recent galivanting 'round the child-free forums...

Do not breed. Nothing gives less pleasure than childbearing. Pregnancies are damaging to health, spoil the figure, wither the charms, and it’s the cloud of uncertainty forever hanging over these events that darkens a husband’s mood.

Dread not infanticide; the crime is imaginary: we are always mistress of what we carry in our womb, and we do no more harm in destroying this kind of matter than in evacuating another, by medicines, when we feel the need.
