Love that line.  Do I need any special permission to use 
those words in lieu of a predetermined exit?  <g>

... 'alas, a false memory' which strongly reminds me that ... 

       HIS golden locks Time hath to silver turn'd;
         O Time too swift, O swiftness never ceasing!
       His youth 'gainst time and age hath ever spurn'd,
         But spurn'd in vain; youth waneth by increasing:
       Beauty, strength, youth, are flowers but fading seen;
       Duty, faith, love, are roots, and ever green.

George Peele (1558?–97); 102. "A Farewell to Arms" (To Queen
Elizabeth)

Arthur Quiller-Couch, ed. 1919. "The Oxford Book of English Verse:
1250–1900"
