"Show me a mistress that is passing..." - Quote by William Shakespeare

“Weed your better judgments of all opinion that grows rank in them.”

“O! Let me not be mad, not mad, sweet heaven; keep me in temper; I would not be mad!”

“For naught so vile that on the earth doth live But to the earth some special good doth give.”

“There, peeping among the cloud-wrack above a dark tower high up in the mountains, Sam saw a white star twinkle for a while. The beauty of it smote his heart, as he looked up out of the forsaken land, and hope returned to him. For like a shaft, clear and cold, the thought pierced him that in the end the Shadow was only a small and passing thing: there was light and high beauty for ever beyond its reach.”

“The moon, like to a silver bow new bent in heaven.”

“THOUGH you are in your shining days, Voices among the crowd And new friends busy with your praise, Be not unkind or proud, But think about old friends the most: Time's bitter flood will rise, Your beauty perish and be lost For all eyes but these eyes.”

“We can forgive a man for making a useful thing as long as he does not admire it”

“He was my equal in beauty, a paragon of grace and charm, sparkling with wit, and burning with love. I adored him to distraction, to the point of idolatry: I loved him as one can never love twice.”

“There is more to be said for stupidity than people imagine. Personally I have a great admiration for stupidity. It is a sort of fellow-feeling, I suppose.”
