"O Death, where is thy sting-a-ling-a-ling,

For you but not for me." -Anonymous, a song popular for the British Army in WWI

"Philaster: Oh, but thou dost not know
What 'tis to die.
Bellario: Yes, I do know, my Lord:

A quiet resting from all jealousy,
A thing we pursue; I know besides,
It is but giving over of a game,
That must be lost." -from Philaster by Francis Beaumont

"I never read a book before reviewing it; it prejudices a man so." -Sydney Smith

'His sins were scarlet, but his books were read.'" -Hilaire Belloc
