More quotes by William Shakespeare

For fear lest day should look their shames upon, They willfully exile themselves from light, And must for aye consort with black brow'd night.
William Shakespeare

O war! thou son of Hell!
William Shakespeare
And teach me how To name the bigger light, and how the less, That burn by day and night.
William Shakespeare
Friendship is full of dregs.
William Shakespeare
I were better to be eaten to death with a rust than to be scoured to nothing with perpetual motion.

Let witchcraft join with beauty, lust with both!
