Cox quote

half as annoying as a nieve bubble headed optimists who walk around vomitting sunshine...

Richard III

A cog... A cog...

This is the winter of our discontent, may glorious sumer by this son of york...


...But I, that am not shaped for sportive tricks,
Nor made to court an amorous looking-glass;
I, that am rudely stamped, and want love's majesty
To strut before a wanton ambling nymph;
I, that am curtailed of this fair proportion,
Cheated of feature by dissembling nature,
Deformed, unfinished, sent before my time
Into this breathing world, scarce half made up,
And that so lamely and unfashionable
That dogs bark at me as I halt by them.

And therefore, since I cannot prove a lover,
To entertain these fair well-spoken days,
I am determined to prove a villain
And hate the idle pleasures of these days.

Harp not on that string, madam; that is past

Harp on it still shall I, till heart-strings break.

Opedius Rex

Another man's death affects me as if it had been my own; for I am a member of mankind.

So do not ask of me for who the bell tolls, it tolls me.
