"Wise men say, only fools rush in." No. Wise men say that fools rush in where angels fear to tread. That doesn't mean they are the only ones who rush in.

"One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do. Two can be as bad as one, it's the loneliest number since the number one." Completely contradictory. How can two be as bad as one, and one still gets to be the loneliest number?

"For red is the colour that my baby wore, and what's more, it's true, yes it is, it's true." It can't be "more": it is either a true statement or it isn't. Either that or it is redundant. Possibly could be a logical statement, which is then given existence, i.e. mapped onto the world and affirmed. If so, then it should be: There is a dress, coloured red, belonging to my baby, that she wore on occasion X, and it is an instantiated statement.

"The Rockies may tumble, Gibraltar may crumble, they're only made of clay, but, our love is here to stay." Actually, the Rockies are mostly, and Gibraltar completely, made of granitic rock, not clay.
