*True love comes quietly, without banners or flashing lights. If you hear bells, get your ears checked.* *[Erich Segal](http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/15516.Erich_Segal?utm_medium=email&utm_source=quote_of_the_day)* *American author Erich Segal (born June 16, 1937) is best known for his 1970 romance, Love Story—he wrote the popular novel and the screenplay for the hit film adaptation. Not so successful? The 1978 sequel, Oliver’s Story. That movie was advertised with this tagline: "It takes someone very special to help you forget someone very special."
