Whom the vile blows and buffets of the world

So weary with disasters, tugged with fortune,
That I would set my life on any chance,
To mend it, or be rid on ‘t.William Shakespeare (1564-1616) English dramatist and poet

Satchelmouth was by no means averse to the finger-foxtrot and the skull fandango, but he’d never murdered anyone, at least on purpose. Satchelmouth had been made aware that he had a soul and, though it had a few holes in it and was a little ragged around the edges, he cherished the hope that some day the god Reg would find him a place in a celestial combo. You didn’t get the best gigs if you were a murderer. You probably had to play the viola.
Terry Pratchett (1948-2015) English author
