Don Marquis Quote

The things that I can't have I want, And what I have seems second-rate, The things I want to do I can't, And what I have to do I hate.


Noah An' Jonah An' Cap'n John Smith: A Book of Humorous Verse (ed. 1921)


The things that I can't have I want, And what I have seems second-rate, The things I want to do I can't, And what I have to do I hate.

The things that I can't have I want, And what I have seems second-rate, The things I want to do I can't, And what I have to do I hate.

The things that I can't have I want, And what I have seems second-rate, The things I want to do I can't, And what I have to do I hate.

The things that I can't have I want, And what I have seems second-rate, The things I want to do I can't, And what I have to do I hate.
