"Oh, that way madness lies; let me..." - Quote by William Shakespeare

“And therefore is love said to be a child, Because in choice he is so oft beguil'd”

“Greatness knows itself.”

“A good heart is the sun and the moon; or, rather, the sun and not the moon, for it shines bright and never changes.”

“I have gone through the most terrible affair that could possibly happen; only imagine, my shadow has gone mad; I suppose such a poor, shallow brain, could not bear much; he fancies that he has become a real man, and that I am his shadow.”

“I have stolen more quotes and thoughts and purely elegant little starbursts of writing from the Book of Revelation than anything else in the English language - and it is not because I am a biblical scholar, or because of any religious faith, but because I love the wild power of the language and the purity of the madness that governs it and makes it music.”

“He was met even now As mad as the vex'd sea; singing aloud; Crown'd with rank fumiter and furrow-weeds, With bur-docks, hemlock, nettles, cuckoo-flowers, Darnel, and all the idle weeds that grow In our sustaining corn.”

“There's an old saying that applies to me: you can't lose a game if you don't play the game. (Act 1, scene 4)”

“Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing had happened.”

“People do think that if they avoid the truth, it might change to something better before they have to hear it.”
