"Women who did not cry during their trial were automatically believed to be witches."  Wisdom from the Malleus Maleficarum, 1486.  One of the reasons given for the conviction of Lindy Chamberlain (famously portrayed by Meryl Streep in "A Cry in the Dark", 1988) was that she had not displayed sufficient grief at the loss of her child.

"That's true poetry. A man who, through his dedication and ingenuity, gave the world a gift, that helped people contemplate the mysteries and marvels of the cosmos, of space, of colliding meteors and comets and collapsing stars, and even of time itself, as the universe continues to fling itself outward madly.... that this man should drink himself to death when his own universe contracted around him into a black hole of hatred and bigotry.  It's too much."   Bill, On Bernhard Schmidt.

"Science advances one funeral at a time." Max Planck

The name "chromehorse" itself, of course, was lifted from the
 song "Like a Rolling Stone" by Bob Dylan.

"you used to ride on a chrome horse with your diplomat / who carried on his shoulder a Siamese cat
Aint it hard when you discover that / he really wasn't where it's at / after he took from you everything he could steal..."
