“Perhaps I am a man of exceptional moods. I do not know how far my
experience is common. At times I suffer from the strangest sense of
detachment from myself and the world about me; I seem to watch it all

dream.”
― The War of the Worlds

You may not die from such foolishness, but you might as well be dead for all the good your life will do you or anyone else.”
