    “We become lovers when we see Romeo and Juliet, and Hamlet makes us students. The blood of Duncan is upon our hands, with Timon we rage against the world, and when Lear wanders out upon the heath the terror of madness touches us. Ours is the white sinlessness of Desdemona, and ours, also, the sin of Iago.”
    —Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

    “The rules of drinking games are taken more serious than the rules of war.”
    —Chinese proverb.
