“But man, proud man,
William Shakespeare
Dressed in a little brief authority,
Most ignorant of what he’s most assured—
His glassy essence—like an angry ape
Plays such fantastic tricks before high heaven
As makes the angels weep; who, with our spleens,
Would all themselves laugh mortal.” (Measure for Measure Quotes)

“Who will believe thee, Isabel?
William Shakespeare
My unsoiled name, the austereness of my life, My vouch against you, and my place i’ the state
Will so your accusation overweigh
That you shall stifle in your own report
And smell of calumny. I have begun; And now I give my sensual race the rein.
Fit thy consent to my sharp appetite…”
