“In despair and extreme distress, men and women prophesy the downfall of their enemies and the victory of their own cause, simply to vent their rage or indignation, to strengthen their resistance, to amass courage in the face of death.”
― Ágnes Heller, The Time Is Out of Joint: Shakespeare as Philosopher of History
