“Hell is empty and all the devils are here.”

“O, brave new world that has such people in't!”

“Misery acquaints a man with strange bedfellows.”

“Thou shalt be free as mountain winds:

but then exactly do all points of my command.”

“This thing of darkness I acknowledge mine.”

“Your tale, sir, would cure deafness.”

“Good wombs have borne bad sons."

“Awake, dear heart, awake. Thou hast slept well. Awake.”

“...and then, in dreaming,

The clouds methought would open and show riches

Ready to drop upon me, that when I waked

I cried to dream again.”
