    It’s one for the money,
    Two for the show,
    Three to get ready,
    Now go, cat, go!
    But don’t you step on my Blue Suede Shoes.
    You can do anything but lay off my Blue Suede Shoes.

    Hail ye small sweet courtesies of life, for smooth do ye make the road of it! like grace and beauty which beget inclinations to love at first sight; ‘tis ye who open this door and let the stranger in.
    Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)

    The best conversation is rare. Society seems to have agreed to treat fictions as realities, and realities as fictions; and the simple lover of truth, especially if on very high grounds, as a religious or intellectual seeker, finds himself a stranger and alien.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    I have just come down from my father.
    Higher and higher he lies
    Above me in a blue light
    Shed by a tinted window.
    James Dickey (b. 1923)

    It’s one for the money,
    Two for the show,
    Three to get ready,
    Now go, cat, go!
    But don’t you step on my Blue Suede Shoes.
    You can do anything but lay off my Blue Suede Shoes.
    Carl Perkins (b. 1932)

    I kept in mind that the minute it got too rough, the minute the fourteen-hour days became too long, the minute people started to be naggy and frustrating, I knew that I could walk away and there were over seventy-nine thousand women who would trade shoes with me in a second.
    Kaye Lani Rae Rafko (b. c. 1968)
