English playwright, poet, and actor
Alas, I am a woman friendless, hopeless!
There's place and means for every man alive.
But if it be a sin to covet honour, I am the most offending soul alive.
We cannot conceive of matter being formed of nothing, since things require a seed to start from... Therefore there is not anything which returns to nothing, but all things return dissolved into their elements.
Praise us as we are tasted, allow us as we prove.
Love is not love that alters when it alteration finds.
Ambition should be made of sterner stuff.
The very substance of the ambitious is merely the shadow of a dream.
As he was valiant, I honour him. But as he was ambitious, I slew him.
O' What may man within him hide, though angel on the outward side!
