The Puzzle is Solved!!
Step out the front door like a ghost into a fog where no one notices the contrast of white on white And in between the moon and you the angels get a better view of the crumbling difference between wrong and right I walk in the air between the rain through myself and back again Where? I don't know...
But I being poor have only my dreams. I have laid my dreams beneath your feet. Tread softly because you tread on my dreams. --William Butler Yeats
Well, sort of. I am almost SURE that I read JUST the first line in a book somewhere. And I thought to myself, "wow, the Counting Crows must have taken that sentence and written their own thing from there". And I've never read Yeats either, so there's another hole. Is it possible that ANOTHER writer cribbed the first sentence for ANOTHER literary work? The search goes on...
Other quotes that I liked:
----------
You win.
I never climbed Kilimanjaro. Never studied a primitive culture. Never got my pilot's license or built my own telescope. Never played with a band, or published a poem, or learned to speak Spanish. Never put away a million dollars. I didn't spend enough time with the kids (but who does?) and I never watched the sun come up from the top of Ayers Rock. I married too early. Never saw Machu Picchu. Never had enough time. And I took too many God damn orders. ---Adbusters, Nov/Dec 2003, #50

Come to the edge He said. They said: 'We are afraid.' Come to the edge He said. They came. He pushed them, and they flew. --Guillaume Apollinaire
