Hamlet quotes
'Tis gone!
We do it wrong, being so majestical,
To offer it the show of violence;
For it is, as the air, invulnerable,
And our vain blows malicious mockery.
- MARCELLUS,Act I. scene I
'Tis sweet and commendable in your nature, Hamlet,
To give these mourning duties to your father:
But, you must know, your father lost a father;
That father lost, lost his, and the survivor bound
In filial obligation for some term
To do obsequious sorrow: but to persever
In obstinate condolement is a course
Of impious stubbornness; 'tis unmanly grief;
- KING CLAUDIUS,Act I. scene II
A countenance more in sorrow than in anger.
- HORATIO,Act I. scene II
A dream itself is but a shadow.
- HAMLET,ACT II scene II
A goodly one; in which there are many confines,
wards and dungeons, Denmark being one o' the worst.
- HAMLET,ACT II scene II
A little month, or ere those shoes were old
With which she follow'd my poor father's body,
Like Niobe, all tears:--why she, even she--
O, God! a beast, that wants discourse of reason,
Would have mourn'd longer
- HAMLET,Act I. scene II
Alas! poor Yorick. I knew him, Horatio; a fellow of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy; he hath borne me on his back a thousand times; and now, how abhorred in my imagination it is! my gorge rises at it. Here hung those lips that I have kissed I know not how oft. Where be your gibes now? your gambols? your songs? your flashes of merriment, that were wont to set the table on a roar? Not one now, to mock your own grinning? quite chap-fallen? Now get yet to my lady's chamber, and tell her, let her paint an inch thick, to this favour she must come; make her laugh at that.
- Hamlet, scene i.Act V
And each particular hair to stand on end,
Like quills upon the fretful porcupine.
- Ghost, scene v.Act i
