pull down to refresh
I hold the Fates bound fast in iron chains,
And with my hand turn Fortune's wheel about;
Christopher Marlowe, Tamburlaine
I do feel it gone,
But know not how it went
William Shakespeare, The Winter's Tale
Unhappy Persia, that in former age
Hast been the seat of mighty Conquerors,
That in their prowesse and their policies, Have triumph over Africa.
---Christopher Marlowe, Tamburlaine
And this our life, exempt from public haunt, finds tongues in trees, books in the running brooks, sermons in stones, and good in everything. I would not change it.
William Shakespeare, As You Like It
FAUSTUS: Bell, book and candle, candle, book and bell,
Forward and backward, to curse Faustus to hell.
Christopher Marlowe, Dr. Faustus
Alas, that love, so gentle in his view,
Should be so tyrannous and rough in proof!
It’s sad. Love looks like a nice thing, but it’s actually very rough when you experience it.
William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet
That like I best that flies beyond my reach.
Set me to scale the high pyramids
And thereon set the diadem of France;
I'll either rend it with my nails to nought,
Or mount the top with my aspiring wings,
Although my downfall be the deepest hell.
Christopher Marlowe
Some Cupid kills with arrows, some with traps.
William Shakespeare, Much Ado About Nothing
