When I must shipwrack, I would do it in a sea, where mine impotencie might have some excuse; not in a sullen weedy lake, where I could not have so much as exercise for my swimming.”

“The death clock is ticking slowly in our breast, and each drop of blood measures its time, and our life is a lingering fever.”
