Shakespeare - King Lear Quotes, Famous King Lear Quotations
Nothing
will come of nothing: speak again. King Lear, 1. 1
LEAR:

LEAR: Let it be so; thy truth, then, be thy dower:

The mysteries of Hecate, and the night;
By all the operation of the orbs
From whom we do exist, and cease to be;
Here I disclaim all my paternal care,
Propinquity and property of blood,
And as a stranger to my heart and me
Hold thee, from this, for ever. King Lear, 1. 1
Come
not between the dragon and his wrath. King Lear, 1. 1
Come
not between the dragon and his wrath. King Lear, 1. 1
It
is no vicious blot, murder, or foulness,
No unchaste action, or dishonoured step,
That hath deprived me of your grace and favour;
But even for want of that for which I am richer,
A still-soliciting eye, and such a tongue
As I am glad I have not, though not to have it
Hath lost me in your liking. King Lear, 1. 1
Love
is not love
When it is mingled with regards that stand
Aloof from the entire point. King Lear, 1. 1
'Tis
the infirmity of his age: yet he hath ever
but slenderly known himself. King Lear, 1. 1
Why
bastard? wherefore base?
When my dimensions are as well compact,
My mind as generous, and my shape as true,
As honest madam's issue? King Lear, 1. 2
I
grow; I prosper:
Now, gods, stand up for bastards! King Lear, 1. 2
