• As Venus within Eros does not really aim at pleasure, so Eros does not aim at happiness. We may think he does, but when he is brought to the test it proves otherwise... For it is the very mark of Eros that when he is in us we had rather share unhappiness with the Beloved than be happy on any other terms.

Venereal disease long predates astronomy, which itself stands as only the second oldest profession.

It was found that even more it is full 800 [degrees Farenheit].
