#the comedies were so much more difficult cause siken aint about that shit

[starkey]

okay but shakespeare plays as siken quotes tho

Midsummer Nights Dream: I sleep. I dream. I make up things that I would never say. I say them very quietly.

Romeo & Juliet: We have not touched the stars, nor are we forgiven, which brings us back to the hero’s shoulders and the gentleness that comes, not from the absence of violence, but despite the abundance of it.

Hamlet: What is a ghost? Something dead that seems to be alive. Something dead  that doesn't know it's dead.

Also hamlet, but for the hamlet stans: You’re going to die in your best friend’s arms. And you play along because it’s funny, because it’s written down, you’ve memorized it, it’s all you know. I say the phrases that keep it all going, and everybody plays along.

King Lear: Let me tell you what I do know: I am more than one thing, and not all of those things are good. The truth is complicated. It’s two-toned, multi-vocal, bittersweet. I used to think that if I dug deep enough to discover something sad and ugly, I’d know it was something true. Now I’m trying to dig deeper.

Tempest: Please keep him safe. Let him lay his head on my chest and we will be like sailors, swimming in the sound of it, dashed to pieces.

Macbeth: You didn’t think you’d feel this way. There’s a gun in your hand. It feels hot. It feels oily.

Julius Caesar: I am singing now while Rome burns. We are all just trying to be holy.

Henry IV: This is where the evening splits in half, Henry, love or death. Grab an end, pull hard, and make a wish.

As you like it: In a word, in a phrase, it’s a movie, you’re the star. So smile for the camera, it’s your big scene, you know your lines.

Taming of the shrew: Let’s admit, without apology, what we do to each other

Twelfth Night: How much can you change and get away with it, before you turn into someone else, before it's some kind of murder?

Much ado about nothing: The entire history of human desire takes about seventy minutes to tell. Unfortunately we don’t have that kind of time.
