Hamlet/characters

Famous quotes containing the words hamlet and/or characters:

    Would Hamlet have felt the delicious fascination of suicide if he hadn’t had an audience, and lines to speak?
    Jean Genet (1910–1986)

    Waxed-fleshed out-patients
    Still vague from accidents,
    And characters in long coats
    Deep in the litter-baskets
    All dodging the toad work
    By being stupid or weak.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
