Apparently when Jane Austen was young (a teenager, I think) she wrote a story about a woman who would run around with spells of craziness and have fainting fits and things like that. At the end of the story, the woman fainted at the top of a staircase and fell down the stairs to her death. At this point in the story, Austen brilliantly noted,
"Run mad as often as you choose, but do not faint."
Words we can all live by.
