I know I'm taking the thread in a non-contemplative direction, but this
reminds me of some Haiku (Japanese poetry, not the OS) error messages I
once read:

http://strangeplaces.net/weirdthings/haiku.html

in particular,

ABORTED effort:
Close all that you have.
You ask way too much.

and

Out of memory.
We wish to hold the whole sky,
But we never will.

They crack me up, like a 3 cell cartoon strip, you can see the reader's
facial expressions rise and fall with each poignant line :)
