"Unsubstantial Death is amorous...." - Quote by William Shakespeare

“If the masses can love without knowing why, they also hate without much foundation.”

“Thriftless ambition, that wilt ravin up Thine own life's means!”

“Who are the violets nowThat strew the lap of the new-come spring?”

“I realized people would soon forget me once I was dead. I couldn't even say that this was hard to stomach; really, there's no idea to which one doesn't get acclimatized in time.”

“With mirth in funeral and with dirge in marriage.”

“He then alone will strictly be called brave who is fearless of a noble death, and of all such chances as come upon us with sudden death in their train.”

“People talk about the horrors of war, but what weapon has a man invented that even approaches in cruelty some of the commoner diseases? 'Natural' death, almost by defintion, means something slow, smelly and painful.”

“And so, from hour to hour, we ripe and ripe.And then, from hour to hour, we rot and rot;And thereby hangs a tale.”

“Curse ruthless time! Curse our mortality. How cruelly short is the allotted span for all we must cram into it!”
