That's easy. _Gatsby_, if it has to be a book in the novel sense,
otherwise _The Short Stories of F. Scott Fitzgerald_.

Alone on the highway with just a dream
Of finding that certain someone
To set my heart free
I saw her face in the sun coming up in New Mexico
I heard her voice in a river that ran through Durango
She has a way that I've never known but I cannot forget
She is everywhere around me
I just haven't found her yet.

post anyway. My apologies for the repetition.

'My apologies for the repetition' is not a sentence, for it does not contain
a verb. Hence, your full-stop was completely unwarranted.
Cypher
Actaully, one of the qoutes used, at least in the video, for his newly relased
song is "So, anyone with 'Thug Life' written on his chest is guilty?'"
Says something, doesn't it?
Neither is "-chance"
or "Cypher"
or "Hello."
or "Goodbye."
or any of a million other phrases that are in everyday use.
"Color me annoyed" lacks a subject. "Stupid newsreader crashed..." lacks
a definite article or "my". "Color me annoyed stupid newsreader crashed
the first time but sent the post anyway my apologies for the repetition"
is far worse.
This one checks out, though:
If you're going to be an ass, you'll just be ignored.
Hello.
Cypher.
Goodbye.
Cypher.

In '(I give you) my apologies' the verb is implied. The grammatic figure
is called an ellipsis (omission). The punctuation is, as a rule, as if the
verb had been there.

it's probably worth pointing out
that the charges were trumped-up in all of these cases;
Jeanne d' Arc was charged with perversion
because she wore armour into battle - man's attire;
Colonial bureaucrats in India jailed Gandhi
on a charge of inciting violence.
because the System owned major media,
many people thought Mohandas Gandhi
was a violent terrorist for years.
'bout the same with Nelson Mandela -
the power-elites of South Africa and India
slandered their targets in an effort to turn the public against them.
Socrates was busted for seducing youth
on grounds that he urged young people
to compare their elders' morals with their actions,
and to notice who practiced what they preached.
Yep! Thanks for the shopping list :)
