“Is this a dagger which I see before me,
The handle toward my hand? Come, let me clutch thee.
I have thee not, and yet I see thee still.
Art thou not, fatal vision, sensible
To feeling as to sight? Or art thou but
A dagger of the mind, a false creation
Proceeding from the heat-oppressèd brain?”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“A face is too slight a foundation for happiness.”
—Mary Wortley, Lady Montagu (1689–1762)
