“Why can’t you remember your Shakespeare and forget the third-raters. You’ll find what you’re trying to say in him- as you’ll find everything else worth saying. 'We are such stuff as dreams are made on, and our little life is rounded with sleep.''

― Eugene O'Neill, Long Day’s Journey into Night

“Grimm: Cat and Mouse (#1.18)" (2012)

Rosalee Calvert: I'm sorry. I wasn't listening.”
― Grimm

“When a man does a queer thing, or two queer things, there may be a meaning to it, but when everything he does is queer, then you begin to wonder”
