They say miracles are past; and we have our
philosophical persons, to make modern and familiar,
things supernatural and causeless. Hence is it that
we make trifles of terrors, ensconcing ourselves
into seeming knowledge, when we should submit
ourselves to an unknown fear.
—WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE,
ALL’S WELL THAT ENDS WELL (ACT 3, SCENE 3)
The throat is deep and the mouth is wide
Saw some things on the other side
Made me promise to never tell
But you know me, I can’t help myself
—TRENT REZNOR, “CAME BACK HAUNTED”
