I have two lovely sons and some good memories, but I've had a rather tumultuous personal life. It hasn't been dull; I've been the Hiroshima of love.
(Sylvester Stallone)

He´s happily married again these days and also has three daughters but I still like this quote.
" I´d rather be a stank ass hoe because I´m not stupid. Oh my goodness! I got more drugs! I´m always funny dude...I´m hilarious! Are we gonna smoke?"

Perhaps the feelings that we experience when we are in love represent a normal state. Being in love shows a person who he should be.
