Lord,

So I beg you, take three things
From this world before I destroy it.
Three things, and then the rest will be
wiped away.'

No, there is nothing.'

They stay in the stories, while out here in the wide world we have to muddle through as best we can on our own. — Charles de Lint
Winkin', Blinkin', and Nod, one night sailed off in a wooden shoe; Sailed off on a river of crystal light into a sea of dew. "Where are you going and what do you wish?" the old moon asked the three.

Government! Three-fourths parasitic and the rest stupid fumbling - oh, Harshaw concluded that man, a social animal, could not avoid government, any more than an individual could escape bondage to his bowels.

I reached out to [Brett Favre] early on; sent him some of my books and a letter. Then I had two or three arranged times with him, and was blown off.

Plus, his family members were amazingly open and cool. — Jeff Pearlman

Moving is what the deal is. I wish I could spend more time in places, but I find I either want to be in a place for an afternoon or like 10 days or a month. I don't like the two-day thing, so I just wish the drives were shorter so you could wake up, take a walk, and spend three hours in one part of the town. I always thought there should be 28 or 30 hours in a day - you know what I mean? — Justin Vernon
I had five dollars in the bank that I couldn't have for three days until they charged me another 15. Leaving me with -10. What does that mean? I don't even have no money any more.

I can only afford to get something that costs you give me ten dollars. — Louis C. K.
Not too many people work in a job where, waiting out there are three or four hundred people who are paid to tear apart what you've done.
