I don't know Shakespeare had a devilish sense of humor and was considered very rude for his time "Even now as you wait, the black ram is tupping your white ewe" from Othello is just one example, and he had a flair for making fun of his characters. If you get past the middle english so much of literature afterwards owes itself at least something to his structure or literary devices.Quote:

Now back to the usual silliness........

Quoted by Homerathus Simpsonala and a quote I use on many occasions in my life "trying is the first step to failure, the lesson is never try".
But on a more serious note- yeah I agree majority of old quotes from playwrights are shakespeare but there's a quote which I still use very often from Rime of the Ancient Mariner. That was an epic poem "water water everywhere and not a drop to drink".
No wai!! :oQuote:

Literature is for arses that can't seem to put 2 and 2 together, and who feel someone gives a shit about their feelings about a story some bored-ass bloke wrote 400 years ago, because he had nothing better to do and the lager had just ran out in his fridge.
