To sleep! perchance to dream: ay, there's the rub;
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come.

Armadale
by
Wilkie Collins
That shabby corner of God's allotment where He lets the nettles grow, and where all unbaptized infants, notorious drunkards, suicides, and others of the conjecturally damned are laid.

Howards End
by
E. M. Forster
"O that this too too solid flesh would melt, thaw, and resolve itself into a dew!
Or that the Everlasting had not fix'd His canon 'gainst self-slaughter! O God! O God! How weary, stale, flat, and unprofitable seem to me all the uses of this world!"
~
Hamlet, Prince of Denmark
by
William Shakespeare
"To be, or not to be,--that is the question:--whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune or to take arms against a sea of troubles, and by opposing end them?"
