Shakespeare, too capacious for any formula, leads me to a rival aphorism: Pathos also is the daemon, which could be rendered as “personality is our destiny.” In Shakespearean theatricalism, personality is suffering. Action, Wordsworth wrote, is momentary, while suffering is permanent, obscure, dark, and shares the nature of infinity.”
― Harold Bloom, The Daemon Knows: Literary Greatness and the American Sublime

“Sometimes you can't speak, not because others won't let you, but because you are afraid of what you'll say.”
