"I am nothing special; just a common man with common thoughts, and I've led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten. But in one respect I have succeeded as gloriously as anyone who's ever lived: I've loved another with all my heart and soul; and to me, this has always been enough. "

Probably foolish, but I can't resist. Tommy Lee Jones in Men In Black " I'm sorry mam, but we at the F.B.I. do not have a sense of humour, that we are aware of."
