William Shakespeare on World
← Back to William Shakespeare Profile
“Why, then, the world's mine oyster, Which I with sword will open.”
“All the world's a stage, And all the men and women merely players.”
“For some must watch, while some must sleep; So runs the world away.”
“How weary, stale, flat and unprofitable Seem to me all the uses of this world!”
“I hold the world but as the world, Gratiano: A stage where every man must play a part.”
“Would I were dead! if God's good will were so: For what is in this world but grief and woe?”
“This wide and universal theatre Presents more woful pageants than the scene Wherein we play in.”
“To be imprisoned in the viewless winds And blown with restless violence around about The pendent world.”
