Three dots.

It is a wondrous thing, how three dots seem so little, yet mean so much.

The Greeks were the first recorded people to use such a rhetorical device. Aposiopesis is when the speaker (or writer) intentionally stops to leave something unexpressed. This indicates an unwillingness (or inability) to continue.

A brief digression is in order.

An interesting-yet-blatantly obvious thought:

When you're going down, there are only three things that can happen:

You stay where you are.
You sink deeper.
Or you rise up.
More often than not, only you can do it for yourself.

An amusing conversation:

"Would you escort me now to what lies ahead?" - Sensui

"I'll go anywhere you want!" - Kuwabara

... I seem to be having bad days more often.
