Summary

This quote suggests that the three most essential aspects in a man's life are his private parts (referring to his physical desires and sexuality), his financial wealth, and his religious beliefs. It implies that these factors hold great significance and influence over a man's identity, desires, and values. However, it is important to acknowledge that this perspective may not apply universally to all individuals and does not encompass the entirety of a person's existence or values.

It was quite impossible to describe. Here is what it looked like. It looked like a piano sounds shortly after being dropped down a well. It tasted yellow, and it felt Paisley. It smelled like the total eclipse of the moon.

When everything is coming your way, you're probably in the wrong lane.

That time of year thou mayst in me beholdWhen yellow leaves, or none, or few, do hangUpon those boughs which shake against the cold,Bare ruin'd choirs, where late the sweet birds sang.In me thou seest the twilight of such dayAs after sunset fadeth in the west,Which by and by black night doth take away,Death's second self, that seals up all in rest.In me thou see'st the glowing of such fireThat on the ashes of his youth doth lie,As the death-bed whereon it must expireConsumed with that which it was nourish'd by.This thou perceivest, which makes thy love more strong,To love that well which thou must leave ere long.
