Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks within his bending sickle's compass come.
William ShakespeareWhen a father gives to his son, both laugh; when a son gives to his father, both cry.
William ShakespeareAssure thee, if I do vow a friendship, I'll perform it to the last article." --Othello, Act III, Scene iii
William ShakespeareTo die, is to be banish'd from myself; And Silvia is myself: banish'd from her, Is self from self: a deadly banishment! What light is light, if Silvia be not seen? What joy is joy, if Silvia be not by? Unless it be to think that she is by, And feed upon the shadow of perfection. Except I be by Silvia in the night, There is no music in the nightingale; Unless I look on Silvia in the day, There is no day for me to look upon; She is my essence, and I leave to be, If I be not by her fair influence Foster'd, illumin'd, cherish'd, kept alive.
