Lists, Day 11: Shakespeare Quotes.

Ok, so I'm not sure technically which category this would fall under for "Invalid Item" , but today is the anniversary of William Shakespeare's death in 1616. I probably haven't read anything by him since high school, to be honest...but I did sorta enjoy his works, and if I remember correctly on a curve I probably liked reading his plays a little more than the average of my classmates back in the day, but what the hell do I know anymore? That was probably 25 years ago.

So I'm gonna list some of my favorite Shakespeare quotes, which I'm lifting from both a Goodreads blog post   and its comments section, because I don't remember a lot of them on my own anymore. Plus he's a wordy bastard . These are in no particular order.

1) "If music be the food of love, play on, Give me excess of it; that surfeiting, The appetite may sicken, and so die." Twelfth Night

2) "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, His acts being seven ages." As You Like It

3) "My hands are of your color, but I shame to wear a heart so white." Macbeth

4) "'I can see he's not in your good books,' said the messenger. 'No, and if he were I would burn my library.'" Much Ado About Nothing

5) "The fool doth think he is wise, but the wise man knows himself to be a fool." As You Like It

6) "Love all, trust a few, do wrong to none." All's Well That Ends Well

7) "The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, but in ourselves." Julius Caesar

8) "My only love sprung from my only hate! Too early seen unknown, and known too late. Prodigious birth of love it is to me, That I must love a loathed enemy." Romeo and Juliet

9) "You speak an infinite deal of nothing." The Merchant of Venice

10) "This above all: to thine own self be true, And it must follow, as the night the day, Thou canst not then be false to any man." Hamlet

O'l Bill had some words to live by I guess. Shoulda paid more attention all those years ago .
