William Shakespeare
Some say that ever 'gainst the season comes Wherein our Saviour's birth is celebrated, The bird of dawning singeth all night long: And then, they say, no spirit can walk abroad The nights are wholesome then no planets strike, No fairy takes, nor wi
William Shakespeare
Sycorax has grown into a hoop
William Shakespeare
That England, that was wont to conquer others, Hath made a shameful conquest of itself.
William Shakespeare
For so work the honey bees, creatures that by a rule in nature teach the act of order to a peopled kingdom.
William Shakespeare
If I for my opinion bleed, opinion shall be surgeon to my hurt, and keep me on the side where still I am.
