William Shakespeare
“For God's sake, let us sit upon the ground
And tell sad stories of the death of kings;
How some have been deposed; some slain in war,
Some haunted by the ghosts they have deposed;
Some poison'd by their wives: some sleeping kill'd;
All murder'd: for within the hollow crown
That rounds the mortal temples of a king
Keeps Death his court and there the antic sits,
Scoffing his state and grinning at his pomp,
Allowing him a breath, a little scene,
To monarchize, be fear'd and kill with looks,
Infusing him with self and vain conceit,
As if this flesh which walls about our life,
Were brass impregnable, and humour'd thus
Comes at the last and with a little pin
Bores through his castle wall, and farewell king!”
William Shakespeare, Richard II

Percy Bysshe Shelley
“Fear not for the future, weep not for the past”
Percy Bysshe Shelley

Sylvia Plath
“The trouble about jumping was that if you didn't pick the right number of storeys, you might still be alive when you hit bottom.”
Sylvia Plath, The Bell Jar

Christina Henry
“The ocean has a rhythm, but it has no heart.”
Christina Henry, The Mermaid

Karl Marx
“Capital is dead labour, which, vampire-like, lives only by sucking living labour, and lives the more, the more labour it sucks.”
Karl Marx
