When you see this in a friend's journal, quote Shakespeare.
O, what a noble mind is here o'erthrown!
The courtier's, soldier's, scholar's, eye, tongue, sword,
Th'expextancy and rose of the fair state
The glass of fashion and the mould of form
Th'observed of all observers, quite, quite, down!
And I, of ladies most deject and wretched,
That sucked the honey of his music vows
Now see that noble and most sovereign reason
Like sweet bells jangled, out of tune and harsh,
That unmatch'd form and feature of blown youth
Blasted with ecstasy. O, woe is me
T'have seen what I have seen, see what I see!
Hamlet, III. 1.
