Famous quotes containing the word shakespeare:
“Say that she rail, why then I’ll tell her plain
She sings as sweetly as a nightingale.
Say that she frown, I’ll say she looks as clear
As morning roses newly washed with dew.
Say she be mute, and will not speak a word,
Then I’ll commend her volubility,
And say she uttereth piercing eloquence.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

Such are the poor, in health; or else a feast
And takes away the stomach—such are the rich,
That have abundance and enjoy it not.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Is it not strange that desire should so many years outlive
performance?”
