I want to live and feel all the shades, tones and variations of mental and physical experience possible in my life. And I am horribly limited.”

    William Shakespeare
    “Love all, trust a few,

    Under thy own life's key: be check'd for silence,
    But never tax'd for speech.”

    William Shakespeare
    “All the world's a stage,
    And all the men and women merely players;
    They have their exits and their entrances;
    And one man in his time plays many parts,
    His acts being seven ages.”

    William Shakespeare
    “These violent delights have violent ends
    And in their triumph die, like fire and powder,
    Which as they kiss consume. The sweetest honey
    Is loathsome in his own deliciousness
    And in the taste confounds the appetite.
    Therefore love moderately; long love doth so;
    Too swift arrives as tardy as too slow.”
    ― William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet
