Quotes from Shakespeare ('s plays)
Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind;
And therefore is wing'd Cupid painted blind.
Helena ~ A midsummer nights dream,scene i
Lord, what fools these mortals be!
~ Puck ~ A midsummer nights dream, scene ii
Romeo: O, wilt thou leave me so unsatisfied?
Juliet: What satisfaction canst thou have tonight?
Romeo: The exchange of thy love's faithful vow for mine.
Juliet: I gave thee mine before thou didst request it:
And yet I would it were to give again.
Romeo: Wouldst thou withdraw it? for what purpose, love?
Juliet: But to be frank, and give it thee again.
And yet I wish but for the thing I have;
My bounty is as boundless as the sea,
My love as deep; the more I give to thee,
The more I have, for both are infinite.
~Scene ii - Romeo & Juliet
Nought's had, all's spent
Where our desire is got without content.
'Tis safer to be that which we destroy
Than, by destruction, dwell in doubtful joy.
Lady Macbeth ~Macbeth
