A first statement is usually considered necessary.

You can't do anything now that doesn't remind you of somebody or something from sometime. The fish who drinks water will soon find himself without a home. But all is well. Drawing is a hobo sport. It could have been the first, but then again it could have just as easily have been the last. I've told the lie enough times that at a point I thought it was the truth. People only know what you tell them.
