"And nothing can we call our own..." - Quote by William Shakespeare

“Let me be that I am and seek not to alter me.”

“I will be master of what is mine own:She is my goods, my chattels; she is my house,My household stuff, my field, my barn,My horse, my ox, my ass, my any thing.”

“Our remedies oft in ourselves do lie, Which we ascribe to Heaven.”

“I am jealous of everything whose beauty does not die. I am jealous of the portrait you have painted of me. Why should it keep what I must lose? Every moment that passes takes something from me and gives something to it. Oh, if it were only the other way! If the picture could change, and I could be always what I am now! Why did you paint it? It will mock me some day—mock me horribly!”

“The planet isn't going anywhere. We are.”

“We are all under sentence of death, but with a sort of indefinite reprieve.”

“Death - to blink for an exceptionally long period of time.”

“There is no lonelier man in death, except the suicide, than that man who has lived many years with a good wife and then outlived her. If two people love each other there can be no happy end to it.”

“Life lives on life. This is the sense of the symbol of the Ouroboros, the serpent biting its tail. Everything that lives lives on the death of something else. Your own body will be food for something else. Anyone who denies this, anyone who holds back, is out of order. Death is an act of giving.”
