“No matter how I try
I just can't say goodbye.
No matter what you say
looks like I'm here to stay.
No matter where I go
I don't know if you know
but everywhere we've been
I'm kept in quarantine.”

Gilbert O'Sullivan (1946) Irish singer-songwriter

Warren G. Harding (1865–1923) American politician, 29th president of the United States (in office from 1921 to 1923)
