You look me in the eyes  And you ask me to let you go.  To not make you try any longer.  But I can't.  Because I don't know how to live without you. ...

My favorite quote must either be "Teneo te Africa," or "Let the dice fly high." The latter of which I put in English because of the issue regarding the popularity of quoting it in Latin even though Caesar is believed to have said the words in Greek. I also prefer the meaning when translated into English in this way.
