Be always at war with your vices...

“Be always at war with your vices, at peace with your neighbors, and let each new year find you a better man.”

- Benjamin Frankiln

And sometimes it happened, for a time.

The more difficult it was to love the particular man beside us, the more we believed in Love, abstract and total. We were waiting, always, for the incarnation. That word, made flesh.

And sometimes it happened, for a time. That kind of love comes and goes and is hard to remember afterwards, like pain. You would look at the man one day and you would think, I loved you, and the tense would be past, and you would be filled with a sense of wonder, because it was such an amazing and precarious and dumb thing to have done; and you would know too why your friends had been evasive about it, at the time.

Margaret Atwood, from The Handmaid's Tale
