Top Shakespearean English Quotes

Shakespearean English Quotes By Jazz Feylynn

Shakespearean English Quotes By Fred Hoyle

I am genuinely sorry for scientists of the younger generation who never knew Fisher personally. So long as you avoided a handful of subjects like inverse probability that would turn Fisher in the briefest possible moment from extreme urbanity into a boiling cauldron of wrath, you got by with little worse than a thick head from the port which he, like the Cambridge mathematician J. E. Littlewood, loved to drink in the evening. And on the credit side you gained a cherished memory of English spoken in a Shakespearean style and delivered in the manner of a Spanish grandee. — Fred Hoyle

Shakespearean English Quotes By Stephen Fry

The English language is like London: proudly barbaric yet deeply civilised, too, common yet royal, vulgar yet processional, sacred yet profane. Each sentence we produce, whether we know it or not, is a mongrel mouthful of Chaucerian, Shakespearean, Miltonic, Johnsonian, Dickensian and American. Military, naval, legal, corporate, criminal, jazz, rap and ghetto discourses are mingled at every turn. The French language, like Paris, has attempted, through its Academy, to retain its purity, to fight the advancing tides of Franglais and international prefabrication. English, by comparison, is a shameless whore. — Stephen Fry

You have to sing every day so you can build up to being, you know, Amazingly Brilliant — Mick Jagger

Shakespearean English Quotes By John Halstead

For the natural polytheist, whose gods arise in and from the natural material world ... Our gods not only have transcendent eyes and metaphysical hands.

They are in the waters we poison. - Alison Leigh Lilly, "Anatomy of a God — John Halstead

Shakespearean English Quotes By Lewis H. Lapham

Democracy is born in dirt, nourished by the digging up and turning over as much of it as can be brought within reach of a television camera or subpoena. — Lewis H. Lapham

Shakespearean English Quotes By Donna Tartt

Shakespearean words, foreign words, slang and dialect and made-up phrases from kids on the street corner: English has room for them all. And writers - not just literary writers, but popular writers as well - breathe air into English and keep it lively by making it their own, not by adhering to some style manual that gets handed out to college Freshmen in a composition class. — Donna Tartt

Shakespearean English Quotes By Lucy Liu

If you see the Sopranos, you're not going to be speaking in the Shakespearean English. — Lucy Liu

Shakespearean English Quotes By Charles Yang

The true structure of the Welsh grammar will be revealed only when we look at sentences slightly more complicated than its basic VSO pattern. Welsh is no different from the rest of the world: it does involve an extra step, but even that isn't all that unusual. Welsh is like Shakespearean English on acid: the verb always - not just in questions - moves to the beginning. Alternatively, it can be viewed as taking the French grammar a step further. While the verb stops at tense in French, it moves further in Welsh to a position that traditional grammarians call the complementizer (don't ask). — Charles Yang

Shakespearean English Quotes By Michelle Dockery

'Othello' was my first Shakespearean discovery. I was obsessed with drama at school, and I studied the play for my English GCSE. Desdemona is the part that everyone wants, but Iago's wife Emilia is the one I've always been drawn to. — Michelle Dockery

Shakespearean English Quotes By Robin Hobb

Girls think strangely, — Robin Hobb

Shakespearean English Quotes By Georgette Heyer

well, as a matter of fact, he was cremated, but what I mean is, if he hadn't been he would have. [Ermyntrude] — Georgette Heyer

Shakespearean English Quotes By Muhammad Ali
