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)
