It is not truer he is Angelo / Than this is all as true as it is strange; / Nay, it is ten times true; for truth is truth / To the end of reckoning.

MEASURE FOR MEASURE (5.1.43-46)

#measure for measure #shakespeare #mark twain #truth is stranger than fiction

Most dangerous / Is that temptation that doth goad us on / To sin in loving virtue: never could the strumpet, / With all her double vigor, art, and nature, / Once stir my temper; but this virtuous maid / Subdues me quite.

The breaking of so great a thing should make / A greater crack; the round world / Should have shook lions into civil streets, / And citizens to their dens. The death of Antony / Is not a single doom; in the name lay / a moiety of the world.

ANTONY AND CLEOPATRA (5.1.14-19)

The stroke of death is as a lover's pinch, / Which hurts, and is desir'd.

#shakespeare #antony and cleopatra #love and death

I have a mind to strike thee ere thou speak'st: / Yet, if thou say Antony lives, is well, / Or friends woth Caesar, or not captive to him, / I'll set thee in a shower of gold, and hail / Rich pearls upon thee.

ANTONY AND CLEOPATRA (2.5.42-46)

Who's born that day / When I forget to send to Antony, / Shall die a beggar.

Alack! sir, no; her passions are made of nothing but the finest part of pure love. We cannot call her winds and waters sigh and tears; they are greater storms and tempests than almanacs can report: this cannot be cunning in her; if it be, she makes a shower of rain as well as Jove.

ANTONY AND CLEOPATRA (1.2.156-62)

Enobarbus: Hush! here comes Antony. Chairman: Not he; the queen.

And mermaid-like, awhile they bore her up; Which time she chanted snatches of old tunes, As one incapable of her own distress, Or like a creature native and indu'd Unto that element; but long it could not be Till that her garments, heavy with their drink, Pull'd the poor wretch from her melodious lay To muddy death.

HAMLET (4.7.177-83)
