1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
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
Down, thou climbing sorrow,
Thy element's below.
King Lear, 2. 4
