In our very obliqueness to one another, an unexpected... Joyce Carol Oates
But that the dread of something after death, The undiscover'd country from whose bourn. No traveller returns, puzzles the will. And makes us rather bear those ills we have. Than fly to others that we know not of? William Shakespeare
