From all my mortal lovers with a starboard smile....”

“1st Lady. Madam, we’ll tell tales.
Queen. Of sorrow or of joy?
1st Lady. Of either, madam.
Queen. Of neither, girl.
For if of joy, being altogether wanting,
It doth remember me the more of sorrow.
Or if of grief, being altogether had,
It adds more sorrow to my want of joy.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“Like vinegar on a wound is one who sings songs to a heavy heart. Like a moth in clothing or a worm in wood, sorrow gnaws at the human heart.”
