Thou ominous and fearful owl of death.
William Shakespeare
Why then, O brawling love! O loving hate! O any thing, of nothing first create! O heavy lightness, serious vanity, Misshapen chaos of well-seeming forms, Feather of lead, bright smoke, cold fire, sick health, Still-waking sleep, that is not what it is! This love feel I, that feel no love in this.
William Shakespeare
Thine eyes I love, and they as pitying me, Knowing thy heart torment me with disdain, Have put on black, and loving mourners be, Looking with pretty ruth upon my pain.
William Shakespeare
By being seldom seen, I could not stir But like a comet I was wondered at.
William Shakespeare

Fill all thy bones with aches.
William Shakespeare
Thou hast nor youth nor age But as it were an after dinner sleep Dreaming of both.
William Shakespeare
She is mine own, And I as rich in having such a jewel As twenty seas, if all their sand were pearl, The water nectar, and the rocks pure gold.
William Shakespeare
I rather would entreat thy company To see the wonders of the world abroad, Than, living dully sluggardized at home, Wear out thy youth with shapeless idleness.
William Shakespeare
Comfort's in heaven, and we are on the earth
William Shakespeare
Thy wish was father, Harry, to that thought.
William Shakespeare
It is my soul that calls upon my name How silver-sweet sound lovers' tongues by night, like softest music to attending ears! -Romeo
William Shakespeare
The tempter or the tempted, who sins most? Ha! Not she: nor doth she tempt: but it is I That, lying by the violet in the sun, Do as the carrion does, not as the flower, Corrupt with virtuous season.
William Shakespeare
I desire you in friendship, and I will one way or other make you amends.
William Shakespeare
Man, proud man, Drest in a little brief authority, Most ignorant of what he's most assured.
William Shakespeare
