An Unvalentine

I prefer this unvalentine quote by Orwell:

"The essence of being human is that one does not seek perfection, that one is sometimes willing to commit sins for the sake of loyalty, that one does not push ascetism to the point where it makes friendly intercourse impossible, and that one is prepared in the end to be defeated and broken up by life, which is the inevitable price of fastening one's love upon other human individuals"

I prefer "pimpin ain't easy, like ho's and tricks" - IceT

Hmmm, although Orwell seems committed to hopeless romance, he doesn't wrap it in lace. Miles was never short of companions either, despite his sour outlook.
