“The two most misused words in the entire English vocabulary are love and friendship. A true friend would die for you, so when you start trying to count them on one hand, you don't need any fingers. As to love, I'm reminded of when I was a child growing up with my grandparents in eastern Kentucky. One morning, I was looking out the window and seen my grandfather walking up the sidewalk. He goes into my grandmother's bedroom and hands her a flower and tells her her face looks like a beautiful May morning. To me, that's love.”
