Читать полностью…“Wilt thou be gone? it is not yet near day:
It was the nightingale, and not the lark,
That pierc'd the fearful hollow of thine ear
Nightly she sings on yon pomegranate tree:
Believe me, love, it was the nightingale.
Rom. It was the lark, the herald of the morn,
No nightingale: look, love, what envious streaks
Do lace the severing clouds in yonder east:
Night's candles are burnt out, and jocund day
Stands tiptoe on the misty mountain tops:
I must be gone and live, or stay and die.
Jul. Yon light is not daylight, I know it, I:
It is some meteor that the sun exhales,
To be to thee this night a torch-bearer,
And light thee on thy way to Mantua:
Therefore stay yet thou need'st not to be gone,
Rom. Let me be ta'en,, let me be put to death
I am content, so thou wilt have it so.
I'll say yon grey is not the morning's eye,
'T is but the pale reflex of Cynthia's brow
Nor that is not the lark, whose notes do beat
The vaulty heaven so high above our heads:
I have more care to stay than will to go:
Come, death, and welcome! Juliet wills it so,
How is't my soul? let's talk it is not day.
Jul. It is, it is hie hence, be gone, away!
It is the lark that sings so out of tune,
Straining harsh discords and unpleasing sharps.
Some say the lark makes sweet division
This doth not so, for she divideth us:
Some say the lark and loathed toad change eyes
O! now I would they had changed voices too,
Since arm from arm that voice doth us affray,
Hunting thee hence with hunt's up to the day.
O! now be gone more light and light it grows.
Rom. More light and light more dark and dark our woes.” - Romeo and Juliet
“So we grew together,
Like to a double cherry, seeming parted,

Two lovely berries moulded on one stem.” - A Midsummer Night's Dream

Читать полностью…“Why, man, he doth bestride the narrow world
Like a Colossus and we petty men
Walk under his huge legs, and peep about
To find ourselves dishonourable graves.” - Julius Caesar

Читать полностью…“I have of late--but
wherefore I know not--lost all my mirth, forgone all
custom of exercises and indeed it goes so heavily
with my disposition that this goodly frame, the
earth, seems to me a sterile promontory, this most
excellent canopy, the air, look you, this brave
o'erhanging firmament, this majestical roof fretted
with golden fire, why, it appears no other thing to
me than a foul and pestilent congregation of vapours.”
“Cowards die many times before their deaths the valiant never taste of death but once.” - Julius Caesar

Читать полностью…“When I have seen by Time's fell hand defaced
The rich proud cost of outworn buried age
When sometime lofty towers I see down-razed
And brass eternal slave to mortal rage
When I have seen the hungry ocean gain
Advantage on the kingdom of the shore,
And the firm soil win of the watery main,
Increasing store with loss and loss with store
When I have seen such interchange of state,
Or state itself confounded to decay
Ruin hath taught me thus to ruminate,
That Time will come and take my love away.
This thought is as a death which cannot choose
But weep to have that which it fears to lose.”
“Yet who would have thought the old man to have had so much blood in him? - Lady Macbeth” - Macbeth
Читать полностью…“There is a tide in the affairs of men
which, taken at the floud, leads on to fortune
ommitted, all the voyage of their lives
are bound in shallows and in miseries” - Julius Caesar
“Beshrew your eyes,
They have o'erlook'd me and divided me
One half of me is yours, the other half yours,
Mine own, I would say but if mine, then yours,
And so all yours.” - The Merchant of Venice
“He that hangs himself is a virgin: virginity murders itself, and should be buried in highways, out of all sanctified limit, as a desperate offendress against nature. Virginity breeds mites, much like a cheese, consumes itself to the very paring, and so dies with feeding his own stomach. Besides, virginity is peevish, proud, idle, made of self-love, which is the most inhibited sin in the canon. Keep it not you cannot choose but lose by’t! Out with’t! within the year it will make itself two, which is a goodly increase, and the principal itself not much the worse. Away with ’t!” - All's Well That Ends Well

Читать полностью…“I wasted time, and now doth time waste me
For now hath time made me his numb'ring clock
My thoughts are minutes, and with sighs they jar
Their watches on unto mine eyes, the outward watch,
Whereto my finger, like a dial's point,
Is pointing still, in cleansing them from tears.” - Richard II
“The iron tongue of Midnight hath
told twelve lovers, to bed 'tis
