Stepp’d in so far that, should I wade no more,
Returning were as tedious as go o’er.

Additional quotes by William Shakespeare

Why, I can smile and murder whiles I smile,
And cry 'content' to that which grieves my heart,
And wet my cheeks with artificial tears,
And frame my face for all occasions

So we grew together,
Like to a double cherry, seeming parted,
But yet an union in partition,
Two lovely berries moulded on one stem.

So fair and foul a day I have not seen.

All causes shall give way: I am in blood Stepp’d in so far that, should I wade no more, Returning were as tedious as go o’er. - William Shakespeare
