"What should we speak of When we..." - Quote by William Shakespeare

“The crow doth sing as sweetly as the lark When neither is attended; and I think The nightingale, if she should sing by day When every goose is cackling, would be thought No better a musician than the wren. How many thing by season seasoned are To their right praise and true perfection!”

“When my love swears that she is made of truth,I do believe her, though I know she lies.”

“The fewer men, the greater share of honor.”

“Age childish makes, they say, but 'tis not true;We're only genuine children still in Age's season.[Ger., Das Alter macht nicht kindisch, wie man spricht,Es findet uns nur noch als wahre Kinder.]”

“When I was growing up they used to say, "Robin, drugs can kill you." Now that I'm 58 my doctor's telling me, "Robin, you need drugs to live." I realize now that my doctor is also my dealer.”

“Mostly, what I have learned so far about aging, despite the creakiness of one's bones and cragginess of one's once-silken skin, is this: Do it. By all means, do it.”

“I like hearing myself talk. It is one of my greatest pleasures. I often have long conversations all by myself. Sometimes I am so clever I don't understand a single word of what I am saying.”

“My idea of good company is the company of clever, well-informed people who have a great deal of conversation; that is what I call good company.”

“Whether in conversation we generally agree or disagree with others is largely a matter of habit: the one tendency makes as much sense as the other.”
