Quote

Fair ladies, masked, are roses in their bud Dismasked, the damask sweet commixture shown, Are angels vailing clouds, or roses blown.

I'll break my staff, bury it certain fathoms in the earth, and deeper than did ever plummet sound, I'll drown my book!
William Shakespeare
Image
And, if you love me, as I think you do, let's kiss and part, for we have much to do
William Shakespeare
Image
Men that hazard all Do it in hope of fair advantages: A golden mind stoops not to shows of dross.
William Shakespeare
Image
A contract of eternal bond of love, Confirm'd by mutual joinder of your hands, Arrested by the holy close of lips, Strength'ned by the interchangement of your rings, And all the ceremony of this compact Seal'd in my function, by my testimony.
William Shakespeare
Image
Your hearts are mighty, your skins are whole.
William Shakespeare

QUINCE Francis Flute, the bellows-mender. FLUTE Here, Peter Quince. QUINCE Flute, you must take Thisby on you. FLUTE What is Thisby? a wandering knight? QUINCE It is the lady that Pyramus must love. FLUTE Nay, faith, let me not play a woman I have a beard coming.

My stronger guilt defeats my strong intent.
William Shakespeare
Image
Love is merely a madness, and, I tell you, deserves as well a dark house and a whip as madmen do.
William Shakespeare
Image
My joy is death- Death, at whose name I oft have been afeard, Because I wish'd this world's eternity.
William Shakespeare
Image
Well, heaven forgive him! and forgive us all! Some rise by sin, and some by virtue fall: Some run from brakes of ice, and answer none: And some condemned for a fault alone.
William Shakespeare
Image
And why not death rather than living torment? To die is to be banish'd from myself And Silvia is myself: banish'd from her Is self from self: a deadly banishment!
William Shakespeare
Image
It is the witness still of excellency to put a strange face on his own perfection.
William Shakespeare
Image
A glooming peace this morning with it brings The sun, for sorrow, will not show his head: Go hence, to have more talk of these sad things Some shall be pardon'd, and some punished: For never was a story of more woe Than this of Juliet and her Romeo.
William Shakespeare
Image
Roses have thorns, and silver fountains mud Clouds and eclipses stain both moon and sun, And loathsome canker lies in sweetest bud. All men make faults.
William Shakespeare
Image
Now, my masters, happy man be his dole, say I every man to his business.
William Shakespeare
Image
He's mad that trusts in the tameness of a wolf.
William Shakespeare
Image
I swear again, I would not be a queen For all the world.
William Shakespeare
Image
A fool, a fool! I met a fool i' th' forest, A motley fool! a miserable world! As I do live by food, I met a fool Who laid him down and basked him in the sun And railed on Lady Fortune in good terms, In good set terms, and yet a motley fool.
William Shakespeare
Image
There is a kind of character in thy life, That to the observer doth thy history, fully unfold.
William Shakespeare
Image
Young men's love then lies not truly in their hearts, but in their eyes.
William Shakespeare
