ROMEO
I dream'd a dream to-night.
MERCUTIO
And so did I.
ROMEO
Well, what was yours?
MERCUTIO
That dreamers often lie.
~Romeo and Juliet
Are we going to be serious
About such a mean allowance of breath as life is?
We'll suppose ourselves to be caddis-flies
Who live one day. Do we waste the evening
Commiserating with each other about
The unhygienic condition of our worm-cases?
For God's sake, shall we laugh?
-The Lady's Not for Burning
I am sent with broom before,
To sweep the dust behind the door.
-A Midsummer Night's Dream
I am but mad north-north-west: when the wind is
southerly I know a hawk from a handsaw.
~Hamlet
Twinkle's a nice word. So's viridian. -Sandman
"God does not play dice with the universe; He plays an ineffable game of his own devising, which might be compared, from the perspective of the other players (i.e., everybody), to being involved in an obscure and complex version of poker in a pitch-dark room, with blank cards, for infinate stakes, with a Dealer who won't tell you the rules, and who smiles all the time." -Good Omens
Alice laughed. "There's no use trying," she said. "One can't believe in impossible things." "I daresay you haven't had much practice," said the Queen. "When I was your age, I always did it for half an hour a day. Why sometimes, I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast."
-Lewis Carroll
"A conspiracy of cartographers, is that it?" -Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead
