    Richard Louv (20th century)

    ‘Tis certain, greatness, once fallen out with fortune,
    Must fall out with men too. What the declined is,
    He shall as soon read in the eyes of others
    As feel in his own fall.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Guilty. Guilty. My evil self is at that door, and I have no power to stop it.
