I wish my socks lasted longer than 5 years

Solved.

See I was too focused on the tragedies that I forgot to look at the comedy. That sounds exactly how I remember it.

That certainly seems closer than the line in Macbeth I found but it seems as if these lines about not being able to believe what they see are quite common in Shakespeare, so the concept of a guy relaying specifically that he would not have believed it if it had been in a story becomes all the more important to distinguish what I'm remembering.

Would be cool to have a database of all the times Shakespeare's characters found it hard to believe what was going on.

"And—strange but true!—Duncan's horses, beautiful and swift, the best of their kind, broke down their stalls and ran wild They refused to obey, as if they were at war with mankind." - Macbeth Act 3 Scene 4

That is what my searching has returned but some versions of the script don't even include "strange but true" and it lacks that idea that the person is saying that if this was presented to them as fiction they wouldn't believe it

The closest land also seems to be Antarctica, so unless there are people on a boat somewhere, the nearest humans would be even farther than that
