He was perfumed like a milliner,
And 'twixt his finger and his thumb he held
A pouncet box, which ever and anon
He gave his nose, and took't away again;
Who therewith angry, when it next came there,
Took it in snuff; and still he smil'd and talk'd;
And as the soldiers bore dead bodies by,
He call'd them untaught knaves, unmannerly,
To bring a slovenly unhandsome corse
Betwixt the wind and his nobility.
(The First Part Of King Henry The Fourth)
More Quotes from William Shakespeare:
For to thy sensual fault I bring in sense-Thy adverse party is thy advocate-
And 'gainst my self a lawful plea commence.
William Shakespeare
I'll pray, and then I'll sleep.
William Shakespeare
Friends now fast sworn,
Whose double bosoms seems to wear one heart,
Whose hours, whose bed, whose meal and exercise
Are still together, who twin, as 'twere, in love,
Unseparable, shall within this hour,
On a dissension of a doit, break out
To bitterest enmity; so fellest foes,
Whose passions and whose plots have broke their sleep
To take the one the other, by some chance,
Some trick not worth an egg, shall grow dear friends
And interjoin their issues.
William Shakespeare
They say men are molded out of faults, and for the most, become much more the better for being a little bad. Measure For Measure
William Shakespeare
He is as like thee as a man may be
Not like to me, or any of my kin,
And yet I love him.
William Shakespeare
O, know, sweet love, I always write of you,
And you and love are still my argument;
So all my best is dressing old words new,
Spending again what is already spent.
William Shakespeare

The arts are not just instantaneous pleasure - if you don't like it, the artist is wrong. I belong to the generation which says if you don't like it, you don't understand and you ought to find out.
Ethel Barrymore
Questions are fiction, and answers are anything from more fiction to science-fiction.
Saul Steinberg
Judaism has always been a strong interest of mine. My two sons speak Hebrew and are familiar with the scriptures and with rabbinic literature. This is the way we live.
