“ It's all a conundrum, isn't it— forgetting the mixed tape in the car... feeling forgotten when... so many people are thinking of us?

We eat fast food so that we can go to bed on time, but, trust me, everyone wakes up too late. ”

It is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing. ”
