More quotes by William Shakespeare
When love begins to sicken and decay it uses an enforced ceremony.
William Shakespeare
Let none presume To wear an undeserved dignity.
William Shakespeare
Love is a smoke rais'd with the fume of sighs being purg'd, a fire sparkling in lovers' eyes being vex'd, a sea nourish'd with lovers' tears what is it else? A madness most discreet, a choking gall, and a preserving sweet.
William Shakespeare
Hate pollutes the mind.
William Shakespeare
This look of thine will hurl my soul from heaven.
William Shakespeare
Men's eyes were made to look, and let them gaze. I will not budge for no man's pleasure.
William Shakespeare
I am a Jew. Hath not a Jew eyes? Hath not a Jew hands, organs, dimensions, senses, affections, passions?
William Shakespeare
Wishers were ever fools.
William Shakespeare
Sit by my side, and let the world slip: we shall ne'er be younger.
William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
In sooth I know not why I am so sad. It wearies me, you say it wearies you But how I caught it, found it, or came by it, What stuff 'tis made of, whereof it is born, I am to learn.
William Shakespeare
On your eyelids crown the god of sleep, Charming your blood with pleasing heaviness, Making such difference 'twixt wake and sleep As is the difference betwixt day and night The hour before the heavenly-harness'd team Begins his golden progress in the east.
William Shakespeare
And therefore is love said to be a child, Because in choice he is so oft beguil'd
William Shakespeare
Pray, love, remember: and there is pansies, that's for thoughts.
William Shakespeare
The time is out of joint : O cursed spite, that ever I was born to set it right!
William Shakespeare
Make passionate my sense of hearing.
William Shakespeare
