Acting is a masochistic form of exhibitionism. It is not quite the occupation of an adult.

Lawrence Olivier

William Shakespeare

That man that hath a tongue, I say, is no man, if with his tongue he cannot win a woman.
The Two Gentlemen of Verona
William Shakespeare

I have no other but a woman's reason:


I think him so, because I think him so.
The Two Gentlemen of Verona
William Shakespeare

If the balance of our lives had not one scale of reason to poise another of sensuality, the blood and
baseness of our natures would conduct us to most preposterous conclusions.
Othello
William Shakespeare

What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.
Romeo and Juliet

Cry 'Havoc!' and let slip the dogs of war.

• Julius Caesar

All that glisters is not gold.

• The Merchant of Venice

Many a good hanging prevents a bad marriage;

• Twelfth Night

We are such stuff as dreams are made on, and our little life is rounded with a sleep.

• The Tempest

Henry V:
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition:
And gentlemen in England now a-bed
Shall think themselves accursed they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day.
Henry V

The devil can cite Scripture for his purpose.


The Merchant of Venice William Shakespeare

My library
Was dukedom large enough.
The Tempest William Shakespeare

There ’s nothing ill can dwell in such a temple:


If the ill spirit have so fair a house,
Good things will strive to dwell with ’t.
The Tempest William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare Misery acquaints a man with strange bedfellows. The Tempest.

Home-keeping youth have ever homely wits.


The Two Gentleman of Verona

Come not within the measure of my wrath.


The Two Gentleman of Verona

Here will be an old abusing of God’s patience and the king’s English. The Merry Wives of Windsor

We burn daylight. The Merry Wives of Windsor

Why, then the world ’s mine oyster,


Which I with sword will open.
The Merry Wives of Windsor

To die upon a kiss


Othello
