"Chewing the food of sweet and bitter..." - Quote by William Shakespeare

“By God, I cannot flatter, I do defy The tongues of soothers! but a braver place In my heart's love hath no man than yourself. Nay, task me to my word; approve me, lord.”

“in black ink my love may still shine bright.”

“He hath a heart as sound as a bell, and his tongue is the clapper; for what his heart thinks his tongue speaks.”

“Old age is just a record of one's whole life.”

“It is on great occasions only, and after time has been given for cool and deliberate reflection, that the real voice of the people can be known.”

“A minute of thought is greater than an hour of talk.”

“The imagination is too often regarded merely as an indefinite, untraceable, indescribable something that does nothing but create fiction.”

“In art, the hand can never execute anything higher than the heart can imagine.”

“A single fantasy can transform a million realities.”
