"Because I could not stop for Death –
He kindly stopped for me –
The Carriage held but just Ourselves –
And Immortality.

We slowly drove – He knew no haste
And I had put away
My labor and my leisure too,
For His Civility."
— Emily Dickinson

"I do not want people to be very agreeable, as it saves me the trouble of liking them a great deal."
— Jane Austen
