    William Shakespeare
    “Sigh no more, ladies, sigh no more.
    Men were deceivers ever,
    One foot in sea, and one on shore,
    To one thing constant never.
    Then sigh not so, but let them go,
    And be you blithe and bonny,
    Converting all your sounds of woe
    Into hey nonny, nonny.

    Sing no more ditties, sing no more
    Of dumps so dull and heavy.
    The fraud of men was ever so
    Since summer first was leafy.
    Then sigh not so, but let them go,
    And be you blithe and bonny,
    Converting all your sounds of woe
    Into hey, nonny, nonny.”
    William Shakespeare, Much Ado About Nothing

    Gail Honeyman
    “These days, loneliness is the new cancer—a shameful, embarrassing thing, brought upon yourself in some obscure way. A fearful, incurable thing, so horrifying that you dare not mention it; other people don’t want to hear the word spoken aloud for fear that they might too be afflicted, or that it might tempt fate into visiting a similar horror upon them.”
    Gail Honeyman, Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine

    Christina Henry
    “It will always be Peter and me, like it was in the beginning, like it will
    be in the end. Peter, who took everything from me and gave everything too.
    Peter, who loved me best of everyone except himself.
    He tells the new boys I am a villain, and they call me Captain Hook.
    If I am a villain, it’s because Peter made me one, because Peter needs to
    be the shining sun that all the world turns around. Peter needed to be a hero,
    so somebody needed to be a villain.
    The anger that I carried with me all the days of my childhood is for only
    one person now, and if I ever catch him again he’ll be sorry.
    I know I can find a way. He’s given me so much time, all the time in the
    world, and there must be a way.
    Someday. Someday, he’ll be sorry he crossed me.
    When I hear him laughing, out there in the sky and in the night, and that
    laugh burns me deep down in my heart, I know I’ll find a way to make him
    sorry.
    I will make him so sorry.
    I hate Peter Pan.”
    Christina Henry, Lost Boy: The True Story of Captain Hook

    William Shakespeare
    “Out, damned spot! out, I say!—One, two; why, then ‘tis time to do’t.—Hell is murky!—Fie, my lord, fie! a soldier, and afeard? What need we fear who knows it, when none can call our power to account?—Yet who would have thought the old man to have so much blood in him? The thane of Fife had a wife; where is she now?—What, will these hands ne’er be clean?—No more o’that, my lord, no more o’that: you mar all with this starting. Here’s the smell of the blood still: all the perfumes of Arabia will not sweeten this little hand. Oh, oh, oh!”
    William Shakespeare, Macbeth

    William Shakespeare
    “To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
    Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
    To the last syllable of recorded time;
    And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
    The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
    Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
    That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
    And then is heard no more. It is a tale
    Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
    Signifying nothing.”
    William Shakespeare, Macbeth

  • #9
    William Shakespeare
    “O, beware, my lord, of jealousy;
    It is the green-ey'd monster, which doth mock
    The meat it feeds on. That cuckold lives in bliss,
    Who, certain of his fate, loves not his wronger:
    But O, what damnèd minutes tells he o'er
    Who dotes, yet doubts, suspects, yet strongly loves!”
    William Shakespeare, Othello

  • #10
    William Shakespeare
    “But I will wear my heart upon my sleeve
