To sleep! perchance to dream: -ay, there's the rub; For in that sleep of death what dreams may come.

HAMLET: The beauty of the world! The paragon of animals! And yet, to me, what is this quintessence of dust? Man delights not me- 

ROSENCRANZ: (lol hamlet said men delight him thas gaaaay) *dumb snicker*

HAMLET: No, nor woman neither, though by your smiling you seem to say so.

ROSENCRANTZ: (covering) My lord, there was no such stuff in my thoughts.

HAMLET: (sure) Why did you laugh then, when I said 'man delights not me'?

- Hamlet, Act II, Scene II

Nothing Like A Good Story

Nothing Like A Good Story

    When one of Winston Churchill’s many secretaries went into the hospital to have her appendix out, he said…. Oh, sorry to hear that. Can she still type?      Cary Grant refused the role of Henry Higgins in the 1963 film  My Fair Lady, telling Jack Warner not only would he not be in it, he wouldn’t go and see it unless Rex Harrison originating the role on stage, was cast, and he was, winning…

“O villain, villain, smiling dammed villain! / that one may smile, and smile, and be a villain”

“something is rotten in the state of Denmark”

“The serpent that did sting thy fathers life now wears his crown”

“-is death of fathers, and who hath cried, From the first corse till he that died today, ‘this must be so’.”

Hamlet: A collection of quotes

(The following are quotes I noted down from my read through of Hamlet, listed in order of occurrence in the play. Parentheses indicate stage direction, or my thoughts on the quote/why I wrote it down. Find my full review of Hamlet on goodreads, here.)

Polonius: This above all. to thine own self be true; And it must follow, as the night the day, Thou canst not then be false to any man.

Hamlet: O God! a beast that wants discourse of reason, Would have mourn'd longer, married with mine uncle, My father's brother; but no more like my father Than I to Hercules: within a month; (I just thought this one was cleverly worded) Ghost: The glowworm shows the matin to be near, And 'gins to pale his uneffectual fire: Adieu, adieu! Hamlet, remember me. Hamlet: And therefore as a stranger give it welcome. There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, Than are dreamt of in your philosophy. (Quite possibly my favorite quote, and the rhythm of this entire scene made it perhaps my favorite in the play) Polonius (reading): 'Doubt thou the stars are fire; Doubt that the sun doth move; Doubt truth to be a liar; But never doubt I love. Hamlet: for there is nothing either good or bad but thinking makes it so: to me it is a prison. Rosencrantz: Why, then, your ambition makes it one; 'tis too narrow for your mind. Hamlet: O God, I could be bounded in a nutshell, and count myself a king of infinite space, were it not that I have bad dreams. Guildenstern: Which dreams, indeed, are ambition; for the very substance of the ambitious is merely the shadow of a dream. Hamlet: A dream itself is but a shadow. (Hamlet has a lot of clever banter like this, which tends to be some of my favorite parts of Shakespeare’s writing) Hamlet: 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?--To die; -to sleep; No more; and by a sleep to say we end The heartache, and the thousand natural shocks That flesh is heir to, 'tis a consummation Devoutly to be wish'd. To die, to sleep; To sleep! perchance to dream: -ay, there's the rub; For in that sleep of death what dreams may come (Finally, I know this heavily quoted line in context!) Hamlet: yet I could accuse me of such things that it were better my mother had not borne me: I am very proud, revengeful, ambitious; with more offences at my beck than I have thoughts to put them in, imagination to give them shape, or time to act them in. What should such fellows as I do crawling between earth and heaven? (I appreciate that despite being considered mad, Hamlet is one of the most self aware characters in this play, honestly in most of Shakespeare’s work) Rosencrantz: My lord, you once did love me. Hamlet: And so I do still, by these pickers and stealers. Rosencrantz: Good my lord, what is your cause of distemper? you do, surely, bar the door upon your own liberty if you deny your griefs to your friend. (I wish this exchange had happened with Horatio so it were more true, but I’m going to appreciate Ros’ line out of context anyway) Hamlet: O heart, lose not thy nature; let not ever the soul of Nero enter this firm bosom: Let me be cruel, not unnatural; I will speak daggers to her, but use none; my tongue and soul in this be hypocrites, How in my words somever she be shent, to give them seals never, my soul, consent! Hamlet: I must be cruel, only to be kind: Thus bad begins, and worse remains behind. Hamlet: A man may fish with the worm that hath eat of a king, and eat of the fish that hath fed of that worm. (Yes 90% of these are Hamlet quotes, but he’s got all the best lines!) King: Where is Polonius? Hamlet: In heaven: send thither to see: if your messenger find him not there, seek him i the other place yourself. But, indeed, if you find him not within this month, you shall nose him as you go up the stairs into the lobby. King: Go seek him there. (To some Attendants.) Hamlet: He will stay till you come. (GOD! This man is not mad, he’s just stupidly clever. From the sick burn about his new step daddy burning in hell, to the nasty reminder that yeah of course Polonius will wait for you until you get there, he’s super dead, I love this exchange.) Hamlet: When honor’s at the stake. How stand I, then Ophelia: Lord, we know what we are, but know not what we may be. Clown: Cudgel thy brains no more about it, for your dull ass will not mend his pace

with beating; (There’s always a clown in Billy Shakes work. Also, I’m stealing the insult “dull ass”) Hamlet: Whose grave's this, sir? Clown: Mine, sir. Ham: I think it be thine indeed, for thou liest in't. Clown: You lie out on't, sir, and therefore 'tis not yours: for my part, I do not lie in't, yet it is mine. Hamlet: Thou dost lie in't, to be in't and say it is thine: 'tis for the dead, not for the quick; therefore thou liest. Clown: 'Tis a quick lie, sir (More fun word play) Horatio: Now cracks a noble heart.- Good night, sweet prince, and flights of angels sing thee to thy rest!

HOW did I never realize that hamlet’s final line is a pun.

“...the REST is silence.”

He’s about to rest.
