And therefore, โ since I cannot prove a lover, To entertain these fair well-spoken days, โ I am determined to prove a villain, And hate the idle pleasures of these days.
William ShakespeareMerciful heaven, Thou rather with thy sharp and sulphurous bolt Splits the unwedgeable and gnarled oak Than the soft myrtle; but man, proud man, Dressed in a little brief authority, Most ignorant of what he's most assured His glassy essence--like an angry ape Plays such fantastic tricks before high heaven As makes the angels weep; who, with our spleens, would all themselves laugh mortal.
William ShakespeareOur wills and fates do so contrary run, That our devices still are overthrown; Our thoughts are ours, their ends none of our own.
William Shakespeare
