hamlet

my favorite hamlet quotes:

{thank you, summer reading}

This above all: to thine own self be true,

And it must follow, as the night the day,

Thou canst not then be false to any man (I, iii,  77-79).

Doubt that the stars are fire,

Doubt that the sun doth move,

Doubt truth to be a liar,

But never doubt I love (II, ii, 114-117).

To be or not to be? That is the question----

Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer

The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,

Or to take arms against a sea of troubles

And, by opposing, end them. To die, to sleep---

No more----and by a sleep to say we end

The heartache and the thousand natural shocks

That flesh is heir to. 'Tis a consummation

Devoutly to be wished. To die, to sleep----

To sleep, perchance to dream---ay, there's the rub,

For in that sleep of death what dreams may come

When we have shuffled off this mortal coil

Must give us pause. There's the respect

That makes calamity of so long life (III, i, 55-68).

Conceit in weakest bodies strongest works (III, iv, 114).
