"O, reason not the need!..." - Quote by William Shakespeare

“Prophet may you be! If I be false, or swerve a hair from truth, when time is old and hath forgot itself, when waterdrops have worn the stones of Troy, and blind oblivion swallowed cities up, and mighty states characterless are grated to dusty nothing, yet let memory, from false to false, among false maids in love, upbraid my falsehood!”

“You told a lie, an odious damned lie; Upon my soul, a lie, a wicked lie.”

“When clouds are seen wise men put on their cloaks; When great leaves fall then winter is at hand.”

“Reason is the slave of passion.”

“The two principles of truth, reason and senses, are not only both not genuine, but are engaged in mutual deception. The senses deceive reason through false appearances, and the senses are disturbed by passions, which produce false impressions.”

“What? What am I 'bound to be feeling?' People don’t think anymore. They feel. 'How are you feeling? No, I don’t feel comfortable. I’m sorry, we as a group we’re feeling….' One of the great problems of our age is that we are governed by people who care more about feelings than they do about thoughts and ideas. Thoughts and ideas. That interests me. Ask me what I’m thinking.”

“Remorse - Regret that one waited so long to do it.”

“Absence cools moderate passions, and inflames violent ones; just as the wind blows out candles, but kindles fires.”

“The moment we indulge our affections, the earth is metamorphosed, there is no winter and no night; all tragedies, all ennui s, vanish, all duties even.”
