Quotes revisited

Ok, here is where we stand right now. It is incredibly late. I just came back from a Lyle Lovett concert that I should really talk about. And ticketmaster has just screwed over my life in a way that is just indescribable. So, I can either rant and rave for three pages here or go to sleep. I'm choosing the latter. But, in order to meet my content requirements it is time to step back into the quote notebook, this time from ECE 313. As always, most quotes identified wins. Bonus points if you can actually identify which quote was written the morning of the worst day of my life. Enjoy.

2/28/94: To think about it would wreck his mind, to let her go would free his soul.
3/2/94: Heart on fire, I can’t stop the burning. I’m running wild like a restless child with my heart on fire.
3/14/94: And everytime she sneezes I believe its love and oh no, I’m not ready for this sort of thing.
3/16/94: I was looking for a lover but I didn’t know the rules. I made 6 wrong turns and nearly died but the seventh time I made it through.
