   This depends entirely on your particular threat model. I you live   
   in an area where the houses are 400 ft apart then "Do not crack   
   this pass-phrase." might be enough as you would spot someone   
   parked in your driveway while trying to log in.   
      
   If you store data that is worth much to anyone who can get it   
   then something like "`<~l2-G{V2Q z_N'$XL5", with 132 bits of   
   entropy, might be a better choice. No one will spend the weeks   
   necessary to crack such a pass-phrase just to gather marketing   
   information.
