such wanton, wild, and usual slips/ As are companions noted and most known/ To youth and liberty.

Life every man holds dear; but the dear man holds honor far more precious dear than life.

William Shakespeare

A pair of star-cross'd lovers take their life;
Whole misadventured piteous overthrows
Do with their death bury their parents' strife.

A madness most discreet,
A choking gall, and a preserving sweet.

William Shakespeare


Go to quote


I know love is begun by time,
And that I see, in passages of proof,
Time qualifies the spark and fire of it.
There lives within the very flame of love
A kind of wick or snuff that will abate it.
And nothing is at a like goodness still.
For goodness, growing to a pleurisy,
Dies in his own too-much. That we would do,
We should do when we would, for this “would” changes
And hath abatements and delays as many
As there are tongues, are hands, are accidents.
And then this “should” is like a spendthrift sigh
That hurts by easing.

What our contempt often hurls from us,
We wish it our again; the present pleasure,
By revolution lowering, does become
The opposite of itself

Fie, wrangling queen!
Whom everything becomes, to chide, to laugh,
To weep; whose every passion fully strives
To make itself, in thee, fair and admired!

And these the showers to bring it on..

As I am subtle, false, and treacherous,
This day should Clarence closely be mewed up...
