Romeo & Juliet
Macbeth
Romeo:
But soft! What light through yonder window breaks?
It is the East, and Juliet is the sun!
Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon,
Who is already sick and pale with grief
That thou her maid art far more fair than she. Be not her maid, since she is envious.
Her vestal livery is but sick and green,
And none but fools do wear it. Cast it off.
It is my lady; O, it is my love!
O that she knew she were!

Othello
Second Witch:
Fillet of a fenny snake,
In the cauldron boil and bake;
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 owlet's wing,
For a charm of powerful trouble,
Like a hell-broth boil and bubble.
ALL:
Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn and cauldron bubble.
Iago:
Even now, now, very now, an old black ramIs tupping your white ewe.
Hamlet: Quotes
Act 4, Scene 7
Laertes:
I bought an unction of a mountebank,
So mortal that, but dip a knife in it,
Where it draws blood no cataplasm so rare,
Collected from all simples that have virtue
Under the moon, can save the thing from death
That is but scratch'd withal: I'll touch my point
With this contagion, that, if I gall him slightly,
It may be death.

Hamlet: Quotes
Act 3, Scene 2
Hamlet:
What is a man,
If his chief good and market of his time
Be but to sleep and feed? a beast, no more.
Claudius:Oh, my offence is rank. It smells to heaven.It hath the primal eldest curse upon ’t,A brother’s murder. Pray can I not.Though inclination be as sharp as will,My stronger guilt defeats my strong intent,And, like a man to double business bound,I stand in pause where I shall first begin,And both neglect. What if this cursèd handWere thicker than itself with brother’s blood?Is there not rain enough in the sweet heavensTo wash it white as snow? Whereto serves mercyBut to confront the visage of offence?And what’s in prayer but this twofold force,To be forestallèd ere we come to fallOr pardoned being down? Then I’ll look up.My fault is past. But oh, what form of prayerCan serve my turn, “Forgive me my foul murder”?

Hamlet: Quotes
Act 3, Scene 2
Claudius:
Thou still hast been the father of good news.
Polonius:
Have I, my lord? Assure you, my good liege,
I hold my duty as I hold my soul,
Both to my God, and to my gracious king:
Hamlet: Quotes
Act 2, Scene 2
Player King:
This world is not for aye, nor ’tis not strange
That even our loves should with our fortunes change.
For ’tis a question left us yet to prove,
Whether love lead fortune, or else fortune love.
The great man down, you mark his favorite flies.
The poor advanced makes friends of enemies.
And hitherto doth love on fortune tend,
For who not needs shall never lack a friend,
And who in want a hollow friend doth try,
Directly seasons him his enemy.
But, orderly to end where I begun,
Our wills and fates do so contrary run
That our devices still are overthrown.
Our thoughts are ours, their ends none of our own:
Polonius:
Or my dear majesty your queen here, think,
If I had played the desk or table-book,
Or given my heart a winking, mute and dumb,
Or looked upon this love with idle sight?
What might you think? No, I went round to work,
And my young mistress thus I did bespeak:
“Lord Hamlet is a prince out of thy star.
This must not be.” And then I prescripts gave her,
That she should lock herself from his resort,
Admit no messengers, receive no tokens.
Which done, she took the fruits of my advice;
Hamlet: Quotes
Act 1, Scene 5
Ghost:
“Wouldst thou not stir in this. Now, Hamlet, hear: ‘Tis given out, that sleeping in my orchard
A serpent stung me; so the whole ear or Denmark Is by a forged process of my death
Rankly abbus’d: but know, thou noble youth,
The serpent that did sting thy father’s life
Now wears his crown.”

Hamlet: Quotes
Act 1, Scene 2
Hamlet:
“O God, a beast that wants discourse of reason
Would have mourn’d longer,-married with my uncle,
My father’s brother, but no more like my father
Than I to Hercules: within a month”
