Famous Quotes
"To be or not to be, --that is the question--"O
Romeo, Romeo! wherefore art thou Romeo?" "Et tu,
Brute?" "All the world's a stage,and all the
men and women merely players. "What's in a name?
That which we call a roseBy any other name would
smell as sweet." If music be the food of love,
play on "So wise so young, they say do never
live long." Alls well that ends well.
