    “Voodoo Girl
    Her skin is white cloth,
    and she's all sewn apart
    and she has many colored pins
    sticking out of her heart.

    She has many different zombies
    who are deeply in her trance.
    She even has a zombie
    who was originally from France.

    But she knows she has a curse on her,
    a curse she cannot win.
    For if someone gets
    too close to her,

    the pins stick farther in.”
    ― Tim Burton

All we can do is see it through to the end and learn something from it, but what we learn will be no help in facing the next sorrow that comes to us without warning.”
