Shakespeare Lives…
Shakespeare remains an enigma. His work is a mirror on which we
can reflect themes of love and hate, war and peace, freedom and
tyranny, but the man himself is mysterious. After 400 years, such
magical invisibility makes him more than ever godlike.
Some are born great, some achieve
greatness, and some have
greatness thrust upon them.
(Twelth Night)
Cowards die many times before their deaths; the valiant
never taste of death but once.
(Julius Caesar)
All the world ‘s a stage, and all the men and
women merely players. They have their exits and their entrances; And one
man in his time plays many parts.
(As You Like it)
Some are born great, some achieve
greatness, and some have greatness thrust
upon them. (Twelth Night)
A man can die but once.
(Henry IV, Part 2)
How sharper than a serpent’s
tooth it is to have a thankless
child! (King Lear)
If you prick us, do we not bleed? If you tickle us, do
we not laugh? If you poison us, do we not die?
And if you wrong us, shall we not revenge?
(The Merchant of Venice)
I am one who loved not wisely but too well.
(Othello)
Nothing will come of nothing.
(King Lear).
There is nothing either good or bad, but
thinking makes it so.
(Hamlet)
Golden lads and girls all must, as chimney-
sweepers, come to dust.
(Cymbeline)
