"Be like you thought our love would..." - Quote by William Shakespeare

“Reason thus with life:If I do lose thee, I do lose a thingThat none but fools would keep.”

“I heard a bustling rumor like a fray,And the wind blows it from the Capitol.”

“My master hath been an honorable gentleman; tricks he hath had in him which gentlemen have.”

“When we think of friends, and call their faces out of the shadows, and their voices out of the echoes that faint along the corridors of memory, and do it without knowing why save that we love to do it, we content ourselves that that friendship is a Reality, and not a Fancy--that it is builded upon a rock, and not upon the sands that dissolve away with the ebbing tides and carry their monuments with them.”

“I'm not opposed to falling in love.”

“There's something about love that builds up and is creative. There is something about hate that tears down and is destructive. So love your enemies.”

“Give the slave the least elevation of religious sentiment, and he is not slave: you are the slave: he not only in his humility feels his superiority, feels that much deplored condition of his to be a fading trifle, but he makes you feel it too. He is the master.”

“The boatmen appeared to lead an easy and contented life, and we thought that we should prefer their employment ourselves to many professions which are much more sought after. They suggested how few circumstances are necessary to the well-being and serenity of man, how indifferent all employments are, and that any may seem noble and poetic to the eyes of men, if pursued with sufficient buoyancy and freedom.”

“Young people are capable, when aroused, of bringing down the towers of oppression and raising the banners of freedom.”
