“My good Lysander!
I swear to thee by Cupid’s strongest bow,
By his best arrow with the golden head,
By the simplicity of Venus' doves,
By that which knitteth souls and prospers loves,
And by that fire which burned the Carthage queen
When the false Troyan under sail was seen,
By all the vows that ever men have broke
In number more than ever women spoke,
In that same place thou hast appointed me,
Tomorrow truly will I meet with thee.”
― Shakespeare William, Shakespeare's a Midsummer Night's Dream: In the Original Modern English

“Distributed responsibility is the problem. One person gives the order, another carries it out. One can say they didn’t pull the trigger, the other that they were just doing what they were told, and everyone lets themselves off the hook.”
― James S.A. Corey, Tiamat's Wrath

“Perhaps the only difference between the comedian, the psychologist, and the philosopher is that you can’t pretend to be a comedian.”
