    “They mourn, but smile at length; and, smiling, mourn;
    The tree will wither long before it fall;”
    —George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

    “To suppose the soul to think, and the man not to perceive it, is, as has been said, to make two persons in one man: And if one considers well these men’s way of speaking, one should be led into a suspicion that they do so. For they who tell us that the soul always thinks, do never, that I remember, say that a man always thinks.”
    —John Locke (1632–1704)
