  2. A quotation from Shakespeare

    MALVOLIO:                                                             In my

  6. A quotation from Shakespeare

    Grant them removed, and grant that this your noise
    Hath chid down all the majesty of England;
    Imagine that you see the wretched strangers,
    Their babies at their backs and their poor luggage,
    Plodding tooth ports and costs for transportation,
    And that you sit as kings in your desires,
    Authority quite silent by your brawl,
    And you in ruff of your opinions clothed;
    What had you got? I’ll tell you. You had taught
    How insolence and strong hand should prevail,
    How order should be quelled; and by this pattern
    Not one of you should live an aged man,
    For other ruffians, as their fancies wrought,
    With self same hand, self reasons, and self right,
    Would shark on you, and men like ravenous fishes
    Would feed on one another.

    William Shakespeare (1564-1616) English dramatist and poet
    Sir Thomas More, Act 2, sc. 4, l. 55ff (c. 1592)

  7. A quotation from Shakespeare

    HELENA: Things base and vile, holding no quantity,
       Love can transpose to form and dignity.
       Love looks not with the eyes but with the mind;
       And therefore is winged Cupid painted blind.
       Nor hath Love’s mind of any judgment taste.
       Wings, and no eyes, figure unheedy haste.
       And therefore is Love said to be a child
       Because in choice he is so oft beguiled.

    William Shakespeare (1564-1616) English dramatist and poet
    Midsummer Night’s Dream, Act 1, sc. 1, ll. 238ff (1.1.238-245) (1605)
