Strana 60 - I loved Ophelia: forty thousand brothers Could not with all their quantity of love, Make up my sum.
Strana 401 - That patient merit of the unworthy takes, When he himself might his quietus make With a bare bodkin ? who would fardels bear, To grunt and sweat under a weary life, But that the dread of something after death, The undiscovered country from whose bourn No traveller returns, puzzles the will And makes us rather bear those ills we have Than fly to others that we know not of?

I recognized true dramatic grandeur, beauty, and truth. I measured at the same time the boundless inanity of the notions of...
Strana 345 - And own stale nonsense which they ne'er invent. Some judge of authors' names, not works, and then Nor praise nor blame the writings, but the men. Of all this servile herd the worst is he That in proud dulness joins with Quality.
Strana 341 - None that I more love than myself. You are a counsellor; if you can command these elements to silence, and work the peace of the present, we will not hand a rope more...
