“Romeo. Peace, peace, Mercutio, peace!
Thou talk’st of nothing.
Mercutio. True, I talk of dreams,
Which are the children of an idle brain,
Begot of nothing but vain fantasy,
Which is as thin of substance as the air,
And more inconstant than the wind.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“And how can man die better
Than facing fearful odds,
For the ashes of his fathers,
And the temples of his Gods?”
—Thomas Babington Macaulay (1800–1859)
“After a few months’ acquaintance with European “coffee,” one’s mind weakens, and his faith with it, and he begins to wonder if the rich beverage of home, with its clotted layer of yellow cream on top of it, is not a mere dream after all, and a thing which never existed.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
