William Shakespeare
This is the very coinage of your brain: this bodiless creation ecstasy.
William Shakespeare
Beggar that I am, I am even poor in thanks
William Shakespeare
Many a good hanging prevents a bad marriage.
William Shakespeare
I am such a tender ass, if my hair do but tickle me, I must scratch.
