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

The
worst is death, and death will have his day.
Richard II, 3. 2 |
Let's
talk of graves, of worms, and epitaphs;
Make dust our paper and with rainy eyes
Write sorrow on the bosom of the earth,
Let's choose executors and talk of wills.
Richard II, 3. 2
|
For
God's sake, let us sit upon the ground
And tell sad stories of the death of kings;
How some have been deposed; some slain in war,
Some haunted by the ghosts they have deposed;
Some poisoned by their wives: some sleeping killed;
All murdered.
Richard II. 3. 2 |
Within
the hollow crown
That rounds the mortal temples of a king
Keeps Death his court and there the antick sits,
Scoffing his state and grinning at his pomp.
Richard II, 3. 2 |
The
purple testament of bleeding war.
Richard II, 3. 3 |
What
must the king do now? Must he submit?
The king shall do it: must he be deposed?
The king shall be contented: must he lose
The name of king? o' God's name, let it go:
I'll give my jewels for a set of beads,
My gorgeous palace for a hermitage,
My gay apparel for an almsman's gown,
My figured goblets for a dish of wood,
My sceptre for a palmer's walking staff,
My subjects for a pair of carved saints
And my large kingdom for a little grave,
A little little grave, an obscure grave.
Richard II, 3. 3 |
Shall
we play the wantons with our woes,
And make some pretty match with shedding tears?
Richard II, 3. 3 |
Disorder,
horror, fear and mutiny
Shall here inhabit, and this land be called
The field of Golgotha and dead men's skulls.
Richard II, 4. 1 |
God
save the king! Will no man say amen?
Am I both priest and clerk? well then, amen.
Richard II, 4. 1 |
Give
me the crown. Here, cousin, seize the crown;
Here cousin,
On this side my hand, and on that side yours.
Now is this golden crown like a deep well
That owes two buckets, filling one another;
The emptier ever dancing in the air,
The other down, unseen and full of water:
That bucket down and full of tears am I,
Drinking my griefs, whilst you mount up on high.
Richard II. 4. 1 |
