Blind fear, that seeing reason leads, finds safer footing than blind reason stumbling without fear: to fear the worst oft cures the worse.
William Shakespeare
Image
No .... holy father, throw away that thought. Believe not that the dribbling dart of love Can pierce a complete bosom.
William Shakespeare
Image
In the modesty of fearful duty, I read as much as from the rattling tongue of saucy and audacious eloquence.
William Shakespeare

Truly thou art damned, like an ill-roasted egg, all on one side.
William Shakespeare
