I am feeling so utterly damned right now. I remembered I read an anonymous poem with this famous line : something something if you must, but don't something.

All this while I have been so sure that it is :
"Die if you must, but don't rest."

I quoted that to a friend who instantly signaled me how wrong it sounded to him. And I went to google to show him the poem, because I think it was famous enough.

There's no such thing, fool brig.

It is "Rest if you must, but don't quit" -unknown author. Perhaps the author was saying that to his friend who was on diet and exercise regime. Definitely not to someone who messed up her mind after sleepless nights, overslept days, unfinished deadlines and even more deadlines.  Dare you tell her to rest.

Of course unless some elves come and do the works while she rest. 

(What) if you must, but dont (what)?
