Matsuo Basho
Don't imitate me
by Matsuo Basho
Don't imitate me;
it's as boring
as the two halves of a melon.

Quotes of the Day
Sympathy constitutes friendship; but in love there is a sort of antipathy, or opposing passion. Each strives to be the other, and both together make up one whole.
• Samuel Taylor Coleridge
