Additional quotes by William Shakespeare

And therefore, — since I cannot prove a lover,
To entertain these fair well-spoken days, — I am determined to prove a villain,
And hate the idle pleasures of these days.

The art of our necessities is strange
That can make vile things precious.

What light through yonder window breaks?

I have no spur To prick the sides of my intent, but only Vaulting ambition, which o'erleaps itself And falls on the other. - William Shakespeare
