  1. A quotation from Victor Hugo

    He questioned and answered himself; he glorified and insulted himself. One could hear him from the street monologuing in his hut. The passers-by, who have their own way of appreciating witty people, said: he is an idiot.
     
    [Il s’interrogeait et se répondait ; il se glorifiait et s’insultait. On l’entendait de la rue monologuer dans sa cahute. Les passants, qui ont leur manière à eux d’apprécier les gens d’esprit, disaient : c’est un idiot.]

    Victor Hugo (1802–1885) French writer, journalist, human rights activist, politician
    The Man Who Laughs [L’Homme qui rit; The Laughing Man; By Order of the King], Part 1, Preliminary, ch. 1 (1.0.1) (1869) [tr. Lavelle (2003)]

  5. I think it had a cast of only 3 or 4 performers. They were using actual #Shakespeare #dialogue; it wasn't written in modern English or anything like that. I don't remember a lot about the performance other than what I'm about to relate. Either it wasn't that memorable, or this bit was simply burned into my brain and left no room for anything else.

    Lady MacBeth was played by a young woman - probably not older than 18 - and the others were young as well. Lady MacBeth performed one of her monologues in an ... #unusual fashion.

    While she was #monologuing, she and MacBeth were, to put not too fine a point on it, dry-humping. Doggy-style. So fully #clothed, but doing the, uh, motion of the real thing. Lady MacBeth was leaning forward over a chair, facing directly out into the #audience, while MacBeth was behind her, hands on her hips, #thrusting away #rhythmically through her whole #speech.

    He wasn't just faking, so her lines were interrupted every couple of seconds with a #slapping sound and a hitch in her voice. I don't remember which soliloquy it was, but it would have gone something like:

    We fail! (slap)
    But screw your courage (slap) to the sticking-place (slap),
    And we'll not fail (slap). When Duncan is asleep (slap) -
    Whereto the rather (slap) shall his day's hard journey (slap) ...

    But they were playing it deadly serious.

  10. A quotation from Pratchett, Terry:

    «
    Something Vimes had learned as a young guard drifted up from memory. If you have to look along the shaft of an arrow from the wrong end, if a man has you entirely at his mercy, then hope like hell that man is an evil man. Because the evil like power, power over people, and they want to see you in f…
