“The ninety and nine are with dreams, content, but the hope of the world made new, is the hundredth man who is grimly bent on making those dreams come true.” – Edgar Allan Poe

“I don’t understand anything. Life is so strange. I feel like someone who’s lived all his life by a duck-pond and suddenly is shown the sea. It makes me a little breathless, and yet it fills me with elation… I want to live. I’m beginning to feel a new courage. I feel like one of those old sailors who set sail for undiscovered seas and I think my soul hankers for the unknown.” – W. Somerset Maugham (The Painted Veil)

While the cat’s away the mice will play… this:

“Three cool cats, three cool cats / Parked on the corner in a beat-up car / Dividing up a nickel candy bar / Talking all about how sharp they are, these / Three cool cats” – The Coasters (Three Cool Cats)
