Quotes It's all about falling in love with yourself and sharing that love with someone who appreciates you, rather than looking for love to compensate for a self love deficit. I fall in love myself, and I want someone to share it with me. I want someone to share me, with me. You should go to America. That's where my son is. That's where your future is, not Myra Menke. Her head's as empty as a flowerpot. If only, if only, the woodpecker sighs, / The bark on the tree was as soft as the skies. / The wolf waits below, hungry and lonely, / And cries to the moon, / If only if only. If you forget to come back for Madame Zeroni, you and your family will be cursed for always and eternity. It's all about falling in love with yourself and sharing that love with someone who appreciates you.
