  1. I think I’d like to go back home. But sure, everybody knows this is nowhere. I gotta get away from running around.

  2. “Golden opinions from all sorts of people, Which would be worn now in their newest gloss, Not cast aside so soon. LADY MACBETH Was the hope drunk Wherein you dress’d yourself?”
