    “Romeo. Peace, peace, Mercutio, peace!
    Thou talk’st of nothing.
    Mercutio. True, I talk of dreams,

    Which is as thin of substance as the air,
    And more inconstant than the wind.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “Hell isn’t merely paved with good intentions; it’s walled and roofed with them. Yes, and furnished too.”

    Torpedo-like, with shell of gritty leather,
    All packed in sand to wait the trump together.”
