    • Quotes

      Hamlet - Prince of Denmark: What a piece of work is a man? How noble in reason, how infinite in faculty, form in moving, how express and admirable, in action, how like an angel, in apprehension, how like a god. The beauty of the world, the paragon of animals, and yet to me, what is this grotesqueness of dust?

    Hamlet
    "Listen to many, speak to a few." ..

    Doubt thou the stars are fire; Doubt that the sun doth move; Doubt truth to be a liar; But never doubt I love."
