This quotation really grabbed me.

"You know, says the man in the light gray suit, the finest line of poetry ever uttered in the history of this whole damn country was said by Canada Bill Jones in 1853 in Baton Rouge, while he was being robbed blind in a crooked game of Faro. George Devol, who was, like Canada Bill, not a man who was averse to fleecing the odd sucker, drew Bill aside and asked him if he couldn't see that the game was crooked. And Canada Bill sighed, shrugged his shoulders, and said, " I know. But it's the only game in town." And he went back to the game."

This is the kinda shit that makes me get up in the morning. However crap life it, that's the only game in town. However weird shit gets, it's still the only game in town.

And fuck. Neil Gaiman can put a phrase together, can't he?
