Quotes

  • Oh no well I / been there before / and I ain't a comin back around / there no more / no I'm not
  • Shall we go, you and I, while we can? Through... the transitive nightfall of diamonds
  • When I was just a little young boy, Papa said "Son, you'll never get far, I'll tell you the reason if you want to know, 'cause child of mine, there isn't really very far to go."
  • Well, the first days are the hardest days, don't you worry anymore. When life looks like Easy Street there is danger at your door.
  • It's the same story the crow told me, it's the only one he knows. Like the morning sun you come and like the wind you go.
  • Nothing's for certain, It could always go wrong, Come in when it's raining, Go on out when it's gone, We could have us a high time, Living the good life, Well I know
