"I'll make death love me; for I..." - Quote by William Shakespeare

“We may outrun By violent swiftness And lose by over-running.”

“But here's the joy: my friend and I are one, Sweet flattery!”

“What have we here? a man or a fish? dead or alive? A fish: he smells like a fish; a very ancient and fishlike smell; a kind of not of the newest poor-John. A strange fish!”

“Ring the alarum-bell! Blow, wind! come, wrack! At least we'll die with harness on our back.”

“Ay, do despise me, I'm the prouder for it; I like to be despised.”

“This England never did, nor never shall,Lie at the proud foot of a conqueror.”

“The best people possess a feeling for beauty, the courage to take risks, the discipline to tell the truth, the capacity for sacrifice. Ironically, their virtues make them vulnerable; they are often wounded, sometimes destroyed.”

“I think a person who takes a job in order to live - that is to say, for the money - has turned himself into a slave. Work begins when you don't like what you're doing. There's a wise saying: make your hobby your source of income. Then there's no such thing as work, and there's no such thing as getting tired. That's been my own experience. I did just what I wanted to do. It takes a little courage at first, because who the hell wants you to do just what you want to do; they've all got lots of plans for you. But you can make it happen.”

“If there is one thing which I would banish from the earth it is fear.”
