“Not a soul
But felt a fever of the mad, and play'd
Some tricks of desperation; all but mariners
Plung'd in the foaming brine, and quit the vessel;
Then all afire with me the King's son Ferdinand
With hair up staring ( then like reeds, not hair)
Was the first man that leap'd; cried Hell is empty,
And all the devils are here.”
― William Shakespeare, The Tempest

Aggrieved conceit, repressed envy—perhaps the conceit and envy of your fathers—erupt from you as a flame and as the frenzy of revenge.”
― Friedrich Nietzsche, Thus Spoke Zarathustra
