    “Young soul put off your flesh, and come
    With me into the quiet tomb,
    Our bed is lovely, dark, and sweet;
    The earth will swing us, as she goes,
    Beneath our coverlid of snows,”
    —Thomas Lovell Beddoes (1803–1849)

    “I like people and I like them to like me, but I wear my heart where God put it—on the inside.”
    —F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
