black sails | in memoriam

The world breaks everyone and afterward many are strong in the broken
places. But those that will not break it kills. It kills the very good
and the very gentle and the very brave impartially. If you are none of
these you can be sure it will kill you too but there will be no special
hurry.

– Ernest Hemingway: A Farewell to Arms, 1929
