XVII (I do not love you...)
I do not love you as if you were salt-rose, or topaz, or the arrow of carnations the fire shoots off. I love you as certain dark things are to be loved, in secret, between the shadow and the soul.
I love you as the plant that never blooms but carries in itself the light of hidden flowers; thanks to your love a certain solid fragrance, risen from the earth, lives darkly in my body.
I love...

On Envy: A Lesson from Archie's Comics
Miss Grundy: Whats wrong Betty dear? Feeling a bit envious?
Betty: (sigh) Does it show that much Miss Grundy?
Miss Grundy: Let me ask you something... What do you think is the most important thing in this world?
Betty: That's easy, Love!
Miss Grundy: Can money buy love?
Betty: (looks at Veronica) Well... I do know it can rent an awful lot of affection.
Miss Grundy: But even that doesn't last that very long, does it?
Betty: No...I guess not.
Miss Grundy: Buying love is selfish love...The kind where all you care about is making YOURSELF happy. But all things in life that REALLY matter...Love... Peace... Patience... Kindness... Compassion... Justice... Wisdom ... They don't come with a pricetag. Those things are free to anyone who seeks them, and they are what we all should be after... NOT Fame or Fortune. Besides, if you ever should make a Million, dear... How would you know how to use it best, if you didn't have those qualities first?

Have you ever been in love?
Horrible isn’t it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses, you build up a whole suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life…You give them a piece of you. They...
