“All things that are, are with more spirit chased than enjoy'd.”
― William Shakespeare, The Merchant of Venice

“It is no mean happiness...to be seated in the mean”
― William Shakespeare, The Merchant of Venice

“That's what hope was. Clinging to something you weren't sure would ever be yours. But you had to hold on anyway, because without it, what was the point?”
― Jennifer Rush, Altered

“How sweet the moonlight sleeps upon this bank!
Here will we sit and let the sounds of music
Creep in our ears: soft stillness and the night
Become the touches of sweet harmony.
Sit, Jessica. Look how the floor of heaven
Is thick inlaid with patines of bright gold:
There's not the smallest orb which thou behold'st
But in his motion like an angel sings,
Still quiring to the young-eyed cherubins;
Such harmony is in immortal souls;
But whilst this muddy vesture of decay
Doth grossly close it in, we cannot hear it.”
― William Shakespeare, The Merchant of Venice
