Shakespeare - King Lear Quotes, Famous King Lear Quotations
This
is the excellent foppery of the world, that, when we are sick
in fortune, -- often the surfeit of our own behaviour, -- we
make guilty of our disasters the sun, the moon, and the stars:
as if we were villains by necessity; fools by heavenly compulsion;
knaves, thieves, and treachers, by spherical predominance; drunkards,
liars, and adulterers, by an enforced obedience of planetary
influence. King Lear, 1. 2
My
father compounded with my mother under the dragon's tail;
and my nativity was under Ursa Major; so that it follows,
I am rough and lecherous. Tut, I should have been that I am,
had the maidenliest star in the firmament twinkled on my bastardizing. King Lear, 1. 2
My
cue is villanous melancholy, with a sigh like Tom o' Bedlam. King Lear, 1. 2
Who
is it that can tell me who I am? King Lear, 1. 4
Ingratitude,
thou marble-hearted fiend,
More hideous, when thou show'st thee in a child,
Than the sea-monster! King Lear, 1. 4
How
sharper than a serpent's tooth it is
To have a thankless child! King Lear, 1. 4
O!
let me not be mad, not mad, sweet heaven;
Keep me in temper; I would not be mad! King Lear, 1. 5
Thou
whoreson zed! thou unnecessary letter! King Lear, 2. 2
Goose,
if I had you upon Sarum plain,
I'd drive ye cackling home to Camelot. King Lear, 2. 2
