What a piece of work is a man! how noble in reason! how infinite in faculty! in form and moving how express and admirable! in action how like an angel! in apprehension how like a god! the beauty of the world! the paragon of animals! And yet to me what is this quintessence of dust? man delights not me: no nor woman neidier though by your smiling you seem to say so.

Quotes
All quote cards for William Shakespeare
Men have died from time to time and worms have eaten them - but not for love.
Give me my Romeo and when he shall die. Take him and cut him out in little stars And he will make the face of heaven so fine That all the world will be in love with night And pay no worship to the garish sun.
Love is not love which alters when it alteration finds.
I shall not look upon his like again.
Love sought is good but given unsought is better.
A lion among ladies is a most dreadful thing.
A light heart lives long.
Out out brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow.
If music be the food of love play on Give me excess of it that surfeiting The appetite may sicken and so die. That strain again! it had a dying fall: O it came o'er my ear like the sweet sound.
Such as we are made of such we be.
One man in his time plays many parts.
What's mine is yours and what is yours is mine.
The first thing we do let's kill all the lawyers.
And seeing ignorance is the curse of God Knowledge the wing wherewith we fly to heaven.
But for my own part it was Greek to me.
The law hath not been dead though it hath slept.
We know what we are but know not what we may be.
