“Cause when you got love, like we got love.
I'm holding on to heaven, holding onto you.
When you got one, like I got one.
Anyway you looking, it's a hell of a view.
Don't know where we're gonna be, but I know we're be sitting on top of the world.
So keep hanging onto me.
Yeah, don't you wanna be sitting on top of the world?
Top of the world.”

Tim McGraw (1967) American country singer

“Oh, I don't know — that's a hell of a question — I don't tend to look at my stuff that way. I just look at it a book at a time.”

Roger Zelazny (1937–1995) American speculative fiction writer

On how he would like to be remembered (1994)
Context: Oh, I don't know — that's a hell of a question — I don't tend to look at my stuff that way. I just look at it a book at a time. Something like the Amber books are in a different class. I try not to anticipate. I don't know what I'll be writing a few years from now. I have some ideas — I have lots of different things I want to try. I almost don't really care what history thinks. I like the way I'm being treated right now.

“Now I'm standing alone in a crowded room
And we're not speaking.
And I'm dyin' to know:
Is it killing you
Like it's killing me?
Yeah.
I don't know what to say since a twist of fate, when it all broke down
And the story of us looks a lot like a tragedy now.”

Taylor Swift (1989) American singer-songwriter
