I have of late (but wherefore I know not) lost all my mirth, foregone all custom of exercises... And indeed, it goes so heavily with my disposition that this goodly frame the earth seems to me a sterile promontory; this most excellent canopy the air... look you! This brave o'erhanging firmament, this majestical roof fretted with golden fire. Why it appears no other thing to me than a foul and pestilent congregation of vapors. What a peace of work is man. How noble in reason, how infinite in faculties! In form and moving how express and admirable. In action how like an angel. In apprehension how like a god! And yet, to me, what is this quintessence of dust? Man delights not me, no, nor woman neither, though by your smiling you seem to say so.

thats a fucking power move. imagine walking into boardrooms and quoting shakespeare or milton in a dashing suit and suave smile

You can quote great writers on the downlow nowadays and no one will recognize it. Not full-stop sentences, just little tidbits of genius thrown into your language.

>> No.12859771

When you quote Shakespeare and it's out of place, it makes you look like a moron.

However, if you're ever in a situation where it's completely appropriate to quote Shakespeare, and you manage to have the perfect quote ready and remember it and use it, you can score some serious social credibility. Even if nobody realizes it's Shakespeare, it's usually going to sound so lovely that everyone around you instantly wonders where it's from, and then you tell them "Shakespeare," and they're in awe of you.

Caliban, Hippolyta, Lysander, Othello, those are some fucking dope names my dude.

I'd call my son Jupiter, Pluto, Titania, fucking Andromeda, but I doubt anyone I know would let that happen, and I doubt I'll ever have offspring.

I'm mentally retarded and can't remember anything well enough to quote it other than the odd "George's getting upset!" every now and then.

Not quite. Unfortunately I'm not gay, but it's still a funny joke. It was a clue. No more, I might dox myself at this rate.

I remember the closing lines from Ulysses by Tennison, the ending of "To be or not to be", the first and last phrases of the Iliad, some of the Pythagoras monologue in Metamorphoses, the beginning lines of Moby Dick and A Tale of Two cities, also a line in Gotterdamerung, but it's because it struck me so much it seared into my brain.
