“Hung be the heavens with black, yield day to night!
Comets, importing change of times and states,
Brandish your crystal tresses in the sky,
And with them scourge the bad revolting stars
That have consented unto Henry’s death!” – Henry VI, Act 1, Scene 1
“I fear, too early: for my mind misgives;
Some consequence yet hanging in the stars;
Shall bitterly begin his fearful date;
With this night’s revels and expire the term;
Of a despised life closed in my breast;
By some vile forfeit of untimely death.”– Romeo and Juliet, Act 1, Scene 4
“Men at some time are masters of their fates:
The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars,
But in ourselves, that we are underlings.” – Julius Caesar, Act 1, Scene 2
