“Out, you green-sickness carrion! Out, you baggage! You tallow-face!”
Once in my life I want to insult someone like this

“How, how, how, how, chopped logic? What is this?”
My thoughts 90% of the time when I’m speaking to other people

“O, then I see that madmen have no ears.”
“How should they, when that wise men have no eyes?”

“Affliction is enamoured of thy parts,
And thou art wedded to calamity.”

“Blistered be thy tongue
For such a wish! He was not born to shame
Upon his brow shame is ashamed to sit.”

“O nature, what hadst thou to do in hell
When thou didst bower the spirit of a fiend
In mortal paradise of such sweet flesh?
Was ever book containing such vile matter
So fairly bound? O, that deceit should dwell
In such a gorgeous palace!”

„O serpent heart, hid with a flowering face!
Did ever dragon keep so fair a cave?
Beautiful tyrant! fiend angelical!
Dove-feathered raven! Wolvish-ravening lamb!
Despised substance of divinest show!
Just opposite to what thou justly seemest-
A damned saint, an honourable villain!”

„Give me my Romeo. And when I shall die,
Take him and cut him out in little stars,
And he will make the face of heaven so fine
That all the world will be in love with night
And pay no worship to the garish sun.“

„O, I am fortune‘s fool!“

„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.“
