Quotes from William Shakespeare

Such as we are made of, such we be.

I take thee at thy word: Call me but love, and I'll be new baptized; Henceforth I never will be Romeo.

I love thee; none but thee, and thou deservest it

Alas, that love, whose view is muffled still, Should without eyes see pathways to his will!

With love's light wings did I o'er-perch these walls, for stony limits cannot hold love out

O, spirit of love, how quick and fresh art thou!

As chaste as unsunned snow.

All that glisters is not gold; Often have you heard that told.
