Question of the Week: What are your favorite lyrical snippets? I'll define "snippet" as lyrics 25 words or less.

My answer: I'm sure there are others, but the lyric that's been running through my mind lately is the Beatles' "The End":

And in the end
The love you take
Is equal to
The love you make
