Quote of the Day (Lemony Snicket, on the Importance of ‘One Misheard Word’)

“In love, as in life, one misheard word can be tremendously important. If you tell someone you love them, for instance, you must be absolutely certain that they have replied ‘I love you back’ and not ‘I love your back’ before you continue the conversation.”— Lemony Snicket (pen name of Daniel Handler), Horseradish: Bitter Truths You Can't Avoid (2007)
