You will come to a place where the streets are not marked.
Some windows are lighted. but mostly they're darked.
But mostly they're darked.

Do you dare to stay out? Do you dare to go in?
How much can you lose? How much can you win?

Additional quotes by Dr. Seuss

Some poor little person who’s shaking with fear
That he’ll blow in the pool! He’s no way to steer!
I’ll just have to save him. Because, after all,
A person’s a person, no matter how small.
