Quotes of the Week - January 17, 2012:
"Our campaign is about more than replacing a President. It is about
saving the soul of America." -- Republican Mitt Romney, US presidential
hopeful, after winning New Hampshire primary.
"Remember to look up at the stars and not down to your feet. Try
to make sense of what you see and wonder about what makes the universe
exist. Be curious. And however difficult life may seem, there is always
something you can do and succeed at. It matters that you don't just
give up." -- Professor Stephen Hawking on his 70th birthday.
"American children had never seen a moving bosom before."
-- Actress Celia Imrie on the alarm caused by her low-cut dress in Nanny
McPhee.

You
are not worth the dust which the rude wind
Blows in your face.
King Lear, 4. 2 |
It
is the stars,
The stars above us, govern our conditions.
King Lear, 4. 3
|
Crown'd
with rank fumiter and furrow-weeds,
With bur-docks, hemlock, nettles, cuckoo-flowers,
Darnel, and all the idle weeds that grow
In our sustaining corn.
King Lear, 4. 4 |
How
fearful
And dizzy 'tis to cast one's eyes so low!
The crows and choughs that wing the midway air
Show scarce so gross as beetles; half way down
Hangs one that gathers samphire, dreadful trade!
Methinks he seems no bigger than his head:
The fishermen that walk upon the beach
Appear like mice.
King Lear, 4. 6 |
GLOUCESTER:
Is't not the king?
LEAR: Ay, every inch a king.
King Lear, 4. 6 |
Die:
die for adultery! no:
The wren goes to't, and the small gilded fly
Does lecher in my sight.
Let copulation thrive.
King Lear, 4. 6 |
LEAR:
The fitchew, nor the soiled horse, goes to 't
With a more riotous appetite.
Down from the waist they are Centaurs,
Though women all above:
But to the girdle do the gods inherit,
Beneath is all the fiends';
There's hell, there's darkness, there's the sulphurous pit,
Burning, scalding, stench, consumption; fie, fie, fie! pah,
pah! Give me an ounce of civet, good apothecary, to sweeten
my imagination: there's money for thee.
GLOUCESTER: O, let me kiss that hand!
LEAR: Let me wipe it first; it smells of mortality.
GLOUCESTER: O ruin'd piece of nature! This great world
Shall so wear out to nought.
King Lear, 4. 6 |
A
man may see how this world goes with no eyes. Look with thine
ears: see how yond justice rails upon yond simple thief. Hark,
in thine ear: change places; and, handy-dandy, which is the
justice, which is the thief?
King Lear, 4. 6 |
Thou
rascal beadle, hold thy bloody hand!
Why dost thou lash that whore? Strip thine own back;
Thou hotly lust'st to use her in that kind
For which thou whipp'st her.
King Lear, 4. 6 |
Get
thee glass eyes;
And like a scurvy politician, seem
To see the things thou dost not.
King Lear, 4. 6 |
