"Having my freedom, boast of nothing else...." - Quote by William Shakespeare

“Brutus, I do observe you now of late: I have not from your eyes that gentleness And show of love as I was wont to have: You bear too stubborn and too strange a hand Over your friend that loves you. Poor Brutus, with himself at war, Forgets the shows of love to other men.”

“Men so noble, However faulty, yet should find respect For what they have been: 'tis a cruelty To load a falling man.”

“I begin to find an idle and fond bondage in the oppression of aged tyranny, who sways, not as it hath power, but as it is suffered.”

“The consequence was a positively fanatic [orgy of] freethinking coupled with the impression that youth is being deceived by the state through lies; it was a crushing impression”

“The only thing that interferes with my learning is my education.”

“Where there is love, there is no imposition.”

“Relationships are leverage. If you give value to someone else first, you have leverage.”

“Not all that counts, can be counted”

“O friend, my bosom said,Through thee alone the sky is arched.Through thee the rose is red;All things through thee take nobler form,And look beyond the earth,The mill-round of our fate appearsA sun-path in thy worth.Me too thy nobleness has taughtTo master my despair;The fountains of my hidden lifeAre through thy friendship fair.”
