quotes from Hamlet
As thou'rt a man,
Give me the cup: let go; by heaven, I'll have't.
O good Horatio, what a wounded name,
Things standing thus unknown, shall live behind me!
If thou didst ever hold me in thy heart
Absent thee from felicity awhile,
And in this harsh world draw thy breath in pain,
To tell my story.
- HAMLET,ACT V scene II
Ay, truly; for the power of beauty will sooner
transform honesty from what it is to a bawd than the
force of honesty can translate beauty into his
likeness: this was sometime a paradox, but now the
time gives it proof.
- HAMLET,ACT III scene I
Be thou assur'd, if words be made of breath,
And breath of life, I have no life to breathe
What thou hast said to me.
- Gertrude, scene iv.Act III
Be thou familiar, but by no means vulgar.
- Polonius, scene iii.Act i
Before my God, I might not this believe
Without the sensible and true avouch Of mine own eyes.
- HORATIO,Act I. scene I
Beggar that I am, I am even poor in thanks.
- Hamlet, scene ii.Act II
But break, my heart, for I must hold my tongue.
- Hamlet, scene ii.Act i
But two months dead: nay, not so much, not two:
So excellent a king; that was, to this,
Hyperion to a satyr; so loving to my mother
That he might not beteem the winds of heaven
Visit her face too roughly. Heaven and earth!
Must I remember?
- HAMLET,Act I. scene II
But virtue, as it never will be moved,
Though lewdness court it in a shape of heaven,
So lust, though to a radiant angel link'd,
Will sate itself in a celestial bed,
- Ghost,Act I. Scene V
By heaven, it is as proper to our age
To cast beyond ourselves in our opinions
As it is common for the younger sort
To lack discretion.
- HAMLET,ACT II scene I
