The world's in a bad way, my man, and bound to be worse before it mends; better lie up in the mountain here four or five centuries, while the stars go over the lonely ocean.

Four. that's what i want you to remember. if you don't get your idea across in the first four minutes, you won't do it. four sentences to a paragraph. four letters to a word. the most important words in the english language all have four letters. home. love. food. land. peace. . .i know peace has five letters, but any damn fool knows it should have four.
