„I'm tired of all the times I've wanted to help and couldn't.“
— Stephen King, buch The Green Mile
The Green Mile (1996)
Kontext: I'm rightly tired of the pain I hear and feel, boss. I'm tired of bein on the road, lonely as a robin in the rain. Not never havin no buddy to go on with or tell me where we's comin from or goin' to or why. I'm tired of people bein ugly to each other. It feels like pieces of glass in my head. I'm tired of all the times I've wanted to help and couldn't. I'm tired of bein in the dark. Mostly it's the pain. There's too much. If I could end it, I would. But I cain't.

„And homeless near a thousand homes I stood,
And near a thousand tables pined and wanted food.“
— William Wordsworth English Romantic poet 1770 - 1850
Guilt and Sorrow, st. 41 (1791-1794) Section XLI.
Kontext: And oft I thought (my fancy was-so strong)
That I, at last, a resting-place had found:
'Here: will I dwell,' said I,' my whole life long,
Roaming the illimitable waters round;
Here will I live, of all but heaven disowned.
And end my days upon the peaceful flood—
To break my dream the vessel reached its bound;
And homeless near a thousand homes I stood,
And near a thousand tables pined and wanted food.
