Mine, in Hamlet Prince of Denmark Polemius advice to his son on the 21st Birthday, basically "To thine own self be true," "Costly thy purse thy habbit make" "a purse out of a pigs ear", etc etc
Romeo and Juliet were so gosh darn upsetting no one could get their act together, folks dropping everywhere, a common event in Shakespeare, but what about "Mid Summer Night's Dream" All the lurid suggestablity of emorality, I mean it didnt exist in that time did it, surely not? Oh and my all time favourite:
Hal: Henry IV ptI:
"I know you all, and will a while uphold the unyoked humour of your base idleness, yet, here in will I immitate the Sun, who doth permit the base contagious clouds to smother up his beauty from the world, then bursting through shine forth more brightly for all the world to see" Sic, its been a long time better check it last read that thirty years ago.
Doesn't it smack of say John 10 in the bible? Or say, 1 Peter 2:11? Figure it out:
"Brethren, I appeal to you as strangers and refugees in this world, do not give in to bodily passions which are always at war against the soul, instead your conduct should be upright, so where in others would falsely accuse you your behaviour may not be found wanting"
Do you think in either of these quotes they represent a persecutory complex or somewhat morbid obsession with perfection or perhaps seek a greater curiousity towards personal development as stoicly British.
As my Aussie mate would say:" Eh, yea, sigh!"
Um state something but state it loud OKAY???
No not the freakin rock band????
