Quotes with Hamlet

• To be, or not to be, that is the question: Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, Or to take arms against a sea of troubles, And by opposing end them? To die: to sleep; No more; and by a sleep to say we end The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks That flesh is heir to, 'tis a consummation Devoutly to be wish'd. To die, to sleep; To sleep: perchance to dream: ay, there's the rub; For in that sleep of death what dreams may come When we have shuffled off this mortal coil, Must give us pause. - William Shakespeare, 'Hamlet'
• O God, God, How weary, stale, flat, and unprofitable Seem to me all the uses of this world! Fie on 't, ah fie! 'Tis an unweeded garden That grows to seed. Things rank and gross in nature Possess it merely. That it should come to this: But two months dead!—nay, not so much, not two. So excellent a king, that was to this Hyperion to a satyr; so loving to my mother That he might not beteem the winds of heaven Visit her face too roughly. Heaven and earth, Must I remember? Why, she would hang on him As if increase of appetite had grown By what it fed on, and yet, within a month,— Let me not think on 't. Frailty, thy name is woman!— A little month, or ere those shoes were old With which she followed my poor father's body, Like Niobe, all tears—why she, even she— O God, a beast that wants discourse of reason Would have mourned longer!—married with my uncle, My father's brother, but no more like my father Than I to Hercules. Within a month, Ere yet the salt of most unrighteous tears Had left the flushing in her galled eyes, She married. O, most wicked speed, to post With such dexterity to incestuous sheets! It is not, nor it cannot come to good. But break, my heart; for I must hold my tongue. - William Shakespeare, 'Hamlet'
• The time is out of joint. O cursed spite, That ever I was born to set it right! - William Shakespeare, 'Hamlet'
• Brevity is the soul of wit. - William Shakespeare, 'Hamlet'
• And it must follow, as the night the day, Thou canst not then be false to any man. - William Shakespeare, 'Hamlet'
