Shakespeare Quotes

(I'm a nerd and I love reading Shakespeare. So here are some of the most famous quotes, as well as my favorites.)

"Now is the winter of our discontent
Made glorious summer by this son of York;
And all the clouds that low'r'd upon our house
In the deep bosom of the ocean buried." - Richard the Third

"To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing." - Macbeth

"Something is rotten in the state of Denmark." - Hamlet

"Et tu, Brute?" - Julius Caesar

"I'll have grounds
More relative than this—the play's the thing
Wherein I'll catch the conscience of the King." - Hamlet

"Eye of newt, and toe of frog,
Wool of bat, and tongue of dog,
Adder's fork, and blind-worm's sting,
Lizard's leg, and howlet's wing,--
For a charm of powerful trouble,
Like a hell-broth boil and bubble." - Macbeth

"I have had a most rare vision. I have had a dream, past the wit of man to say what dream it was." - A Midsummer Night's Dream

"The lady doth protest too much, methinks." - Hamlet

"He hath eaten me out of house and home, he hath
put all my substance into that fat belly of his: but I will have some
of it out again, or I will ride thee a-nights like the mare." - Henry the Fourth

"If she must teem,
Create her child of spleen, that it may live
And be a thwart disnatur'd torment to her!
Let it stamp wrinkles in her brow of youth,
With cadent tears fret channels in her cheeks,
Turn all her mother's pains and benefits
To laughter and contempt, that she may feel
How sharper than a serpent's tooth it is
To have a thankless child!" - King Lear

These are my top 10 quotes, but I have a lot more!
