"But do you really, seriously, Major Scobie," Dr. Sykes asked, "believe in hell?"
"In flames and torment?""Oh, yes, I do."
"That sort of hell wouldn't worry me," Fellowes said."Perhaps not quite that. They tell us it may be a permanent sense of loss."
"Perhaps you've never lost anything of importance," Scobie said.

For I have known them all already, known them all:
Have known the evenings, mornings, afternoons,
I have measured out my life with coffee spoons;
I know the voices dying with a dying fall
Beneath the music from a farther room.

My eyes are changing colour over time.
I'm weary with right-angles, abbreviated daylight,
Waiting for a winter to be done.
Why do I still see you in every mirrored window,
In all that I could never overcome?
I nearly had to go to the hospital due to a genetic medical condition.

I hate bananas, but love banana-flavoured Nesquick and don't mind banana lollies or banana splits.

Remember this, my friends: there are no such things as bad plants or bad men. There are only bad cultivators.
Banana lovers unite!!!
