Interesting coincidence that you posted this Goethe quote at 9:02 last night, just prior to these posts!!

What's it to you if I love you?

Philine in Bk. IV, Ch. 9
Variant translation: If I love you, what business is it of yours?

Had you looked it up?

Actually, I didn't look it up. It's something that's stuck in my head ever since college 30 years ago.

I wasn't clever enough to see its potential as a pick up line. My pick up line back in college was, "So, what do you think of plate tectonics?" Plate tectonics was all I could ever think of to ask someone about when I was drunk.
