Any idiot can be liked. It takes talent to scare the crap out of people.

Still, there’s no harm in putting a full stop to one’s disagreeable thoughts by looking at a mark on the wall.

But I am, personally, not a gambler. I wouldn’t spend £1 on the lottery, let alone take a punt on a pregnancy. The stakes are far, far too high. I can’t agree with a society that would force me to bet on how much I could love under duress.
