Happy birthday Shakespeare!

Today is the anniversary of the death of, and what is accepted to be the birthday of William Shakespeare.

Shakespeare

In honor of the bard, I thought I’d share a couple of my favorite quotes.

Sin from my lips, O trespass sweetly urg’d:
Give me my sin again.
~Romeo and Juliet

There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so.
~Hamlet

I’d invite you to share your favorite quotes, too!

And here are some Shakespeare links for your enjoyment:

  1. Don’t tell my boyfriend, but my favorite line is still ” I would rather here my dog bark at a crow then a man swear he loves me”. 🙂

  2. That Hamlet quote is actually one of my favorites, too. 🙂

    Whenever I’m out late on a creepy sort of night, I think of this:

    Tis now the very witching time of night,
    When churchyards yawn and hell itself breathes out
    Contagion to this world: now could I drink hot blood,
    And do such bitter business as the day
    Would quake to look on.
