    Hey guys,

    I was thinking of making a wordsearch for my boyfriend for his bday (which is helpfully right before Christmas!). I'd like to use a short quote instead of single words but I'm stuck on what to use. I'd like to make it quite difficult ;) but not impossible and I'd prefer it to be classic rather than lovey dovey...

    At the moment, the frontrunner is “I fear those big words, Stephen said, which make us so unhappy", from Ulysses.

    Any more ideas would be very gratefully received.

    p.s. sorry if this is an inappropriate forum. I thought you guys might be the best people to ask :)

    Wow, Nody, thank you so much. That's fantastic. I especially love the Hemmingway quote, it's right up his street!
    Thanks so much :)
