Many of you might not know what this is, so let me explain it before:

Chiasmus is a form of literary paralellism, and it works in this format:

X is Y,
Y is X.

For example, here is one:

I mean what I say,
and I say what I mean.

Here is another:

Never let a kiss fool you,
Or a fool kiss you.

So what I want is for you to post your favorite chiasmus, or one that you might come up with. Here is one of my favorites:

"When you sit with a nice girl for two hours, it seems like two minutes.
When you sit on a hot stove for two minutes, it seems like two hours.
That's relativity."
- Albert Einstein.
