"O curse of marriage,
That we can call these delicate creatures ours,
And not their appetites!
I had rather be a toad
And live upon the vapor of a dungeon
Than keep a corner in the thing I love
For others' uses."
"O monstrous world! Take note, take note, o world,
To be direct and honest is not safe!"
-- William Shakespeare (1564-1616), Othello, Iago, Act iii, Sc. 3
