Famous quotes containing the word worms:

    “Of comfort no man speak.
    Let’s talk of graves, of worms and epitaphs,
    Make dust our paper, and with rainy eyes
    Write sorrow on the bosom of the earth.
    Let’s choose executors and talk of wills.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “No longer mourn for me when I am dead
    Than you shall hear the surly sullen bell
    Give warning to the world that I am fled
    From this vile world, with vilest worms to dwell:
    Nay, if you read this line, remember not
    The hand that writ it; for I love you so,
    That I in your sweet thoughts would be forgot,
    If thinking on me then should make you woe.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “Of comfort no man speak.
    Let’s talk of graves, of worms and epitaphs,
    Make dust our paper, and with rainy eyes
    Write sorrow on the bosom of the earth.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
