Shakespeare's Plays Quotes

• Los libros han sobrevivido a la televisión, la radio, el cine sonoro, las circulares (primeras revistas), los diarios (primeros periódicos), los espectáculos de Punch and Judy y las obras de Shakespeare. Han sobrevivido a la Segunda Guerra Mundial, a la Guerra de los Cien Años, a la peste negra y a la caída del Imperio Romano. Incluso sobrevivieron a la Edad Media, cuando casi nadie sabía leer y cada libro tenía que copiarse a mano. Internet no va a acabar con ellos.

• I grew up in a theater family. My father was a regional theater classical repertory producer. He created Shakespeare festivals. He produced all of Shakespeare's plays, mostly in Shakespeare festivals in Ohio. One of them, the Great Lakes Theater Festival in Cleveland, is still going. So I grew up not wanting to be an actor, not wanting to go into the family business.

• Every time we moved on, I joined a different class in a different school with different girls until, aged 13, my father had taken the decision to pull me out of school altogether. Everything I needed, he reasoned, could be found within the rich language of Shakespeare's plays at which, by then, I was something of an old hand.

• To put it one way, a collection of Shakespeare's plays is richer than a phone book that uses the same number of letters; to put it another, the essence of information lies in the relationships among bits, not their sheer number.

• The most charming of theories holds that someone other than Shakespeare wrote Shakespeare's plays -- that he was of too low a state, and of insufficient education. But where in the wide history of the world do we find art created by the excessively wealthy, powerful, or educated?

• Fiction is like a spider's web, attached ever so lightly perhaps, but still attached to life at all four corners. Often the attachment is scarcely perceptible; Shakespeare's plays, for instance, seem to hang there complete by themselves. But when the web is pulled askew, hooked up at the edge, torn in the middle, one remembers that these webs are not spun in midair by incorporeal creatures, but are the work of suffering human beings, and are attached to the grossly material things, like health and money and the houses we live in.

• Make a mistake in the interpretation of one of Shakespeare’s plays, falsely scan a piece of Spenserian verse, and there is unlikely to be an entailment of eternal consequence; but we cannot lightly accept a similar laxity in the interpretation of Scripture. We are dealing with God’s thoughts: we are obligated to take the greatest pains to understand them truly and to explain them clearly.

• Shakespeare's plays often turn on the idea of fate, as much drama does. What makes them so tragic is the gap between what his characters might like to accomplish and what fate provides them.

• He hecho bien, Basil, ¿no es cierto, en sacar mi amor de la poesía, y encontrar a mi esposa en las obras de Shakespeare? Los labios que Shakespeare enseñó a hablar me han susurrado su secreto al oído. He tenido los brazos de Rosalind a mi alrededor, y besado a Julieta en la boca.
