Some people say Shakespeare should be experienced in the theater, not read. This is only the case for people with weak minds.

It has only been four hundred years since Shakespeare, and this is the state of things? Insanity, complete insanity.

Poetry, huh? Isn’t that what the very best writing is, in some way or another? Aristotle laid it out in his Poetics, poetic in itself. Dante, first and foremost a poet, invented a language for heaven’s sake. Then there’s Shakespeare, every bit the poet that he was dramatist.

What a big question… To be or not to be? Of course it is better to be. Hmm. It sounds like a big question, but maybe it’s actually stupid.
