"O, had I but followed the arts!..." - Quote by William Shakespeare

“To set a gloss on faint deeds, hollow welcomes,Recanting goodness, sorry ere 'tis shown;But where there is true friendship, there needs none.”

“Love is a wonderful, terrible thing”

“Don Pedro - (...)'In time the savage bull doth bear the yoke.' Benedick - The savage bull may, but if ever the sensible Benedick bear it, pluck off the bull's horns and set them in my forehead, and let me be vildly painted; and in such great letters as they writes, 'Here is good horse for hire', let them signify under my sign, 'Here you may see Benedick the married man.”

“Oh, the worst of all tragedies is not to die young, but to live until I am seventy five and yet not ever truly to have lived.”

“But you held your pride like you should've held me”

“Most of the things I worried about in life never happened.”

“There is a connection, hard to explain logically but easy to feel, between achievement in public life and progress in the arts. The age of Pericles was also the age of Phidias. The age of Lorenzo de Medici was also the age of Leonardo da Vinci. The age of Elizabeth was also the age of Shakespeare. And the New Frontier for which I campaign in public life, can also be a New Frontier for American art.”

“We need emotional outlets in this country, and the more artistic people we develop the better it will be for us as a nation.”

“You see I am an enthusiast on the subject of the arts.”
