Another great quote from Conan's final week at NBC was: Always remember that you can achieve anything and do anything you want to. Unless Jay Leno wants to do it, too.

"By evening, the temperature has dropped fifteen degrees as a minor cold front pushes through our little patch of the Coulee Country. There are no thunderstorms, but the sky tinges toward violet, the fog arrives. It's born out of the river and rises up the inclined ramp of Chase Street, first obscuring the gutters, the the sidewalks, then blurring the buildings themselves. It cannot completely hide them, as the fogs of spring and winter sometimes do, but the blurring is somehow worse: it steals colors and softens shapes. The fog makes the ordinary look alien. And there's the smell, the ancient, seagully odor that works deep into your nose and awakens the black part of your brain, the part that is perfectly capable of believing in monsters when the sight lines shorten and the heart is uneasy."
