But in between, there is plenty to celebrate. 
    We have poetry, music, dance, and now bagel shops 
    on every corner. Like I once said to Gertrude Stein, 
   "A rose is a rose, and you can't do better than a dozen 
    of them to Alice on Valentine's Day." 
  My advice is to slow down, relax, and smell the 
    lox and onions. 
  The reason we're all here is no mystery. Scientists 
    can stop looking. 
  Life is about one thing, and one thing only. 
  Love. 
  That's what I'm talking about. Love. 
  L-O-V-E. 
  It's not just a many-splendored thing. 
    It's *the* splendored thing.
