I'm a romantic. People in the romantic camp tend to say things like "Love conquers all." While baking cookies this evening, I had an epiphany.

I do not believe that love conquers all. I do, however, believe that love can.

It took me a while to figure out why people say "Love conquers all" when they're being sappy and romantic. It just didn't make sense, and I thought maybe it was supposed to be ironic.

To me, it doesn't sound like a happy yay kind of phrase. It sounds like a freaking threat. "Love conquers all-- it will kick your ass, watch out! You're gonna go down, bitch."
