Each of us has that one favorite passage. It may be a part with the most vibrant descriptions - almost lifelike. Or, it could be a single sentence that completely turns the whole thing on its head. It might even be as short as a single word and still end as the part we love the most from a fic. So, what is your favorite line/paragraph/whatever?

(The title is not from be, but from the great poet Bauldiere’s poem ‘The Journey’)

Ed thought about experimental design all the way home. And the more he thought about it, the more he realized what a fucking nightmare the whole thing was, with confounds and biases absolutely everywhere. This wasn't a chemical reaction that he could isolate and observe, and then control. This was romance, and romance was a scientific disaster.

I have many favorite passages but this always sticks out in my mind because i love the expression "romance is a scientific disaster". So much that it became my tag for romance logging for a time, and my meta tumblr account.

Oh, this is perfect! I might also start using it for romance tag - the line is amazing. (And I have too much characters it will fit.)
