Making a mix CD - albeit slightly old school - is generally a pretty cool gift and something I like to receive, or giving someone a book that moved you. Writing an inscription inside makes it even better.
I love you is the inscription on Pandora's box.
They say the test of literary power is whether a man can write an inscription. I say, 'Can he name a kitten?'
I found in one of the tombs an inscription saying, 'If you touch my tomb, you will be eaten by a crocodile and hippopotamus.' It doesn't mean the hippo will eat you, it means the person really wanted his tomb to be protected.
Let there be no inscription upon my tomb; let no man write my epitaph: no man can write my epitaph.
