#10 Good night, good night! Parting is such sweet sorrow
"Good night, good night! Parting is such sweet sorrow."#9 Not that I lov'd Caesar less
"Not that I lov'd Caesar less, but that I lov'd Rome more."#8 Then must you speak...Of One that lov'd not wisely
"Then must you speak#7 Oh, I am fortune's fool!
"Oh, I am fortune's fool!"#6 All the world's a stage...
"All the world's a stage,And all the men and women merely players
They have their exits and their entrances
And one man in his time plays many parts,
His acts being seven ages."
--From As You Like It (II, vii, 139-143)
#5 Out, damned spot!...
"Out, damned spot! out, I say!"#4 Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow...
"To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow; a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing."
--From Macbeth (V, v, 19)
#3 Et tu, Brute?
"Et tu, Brute?"#2 O Romeo, Romeo! wherefore art thou Romeo?
"O Romeo, Romeo! wherefore art thou Romeo?"#1 To be or not to be,--that is the question...
"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?"
-- From Hamlet (III, i, 56-61)
