Favourite Shakespeare Quotations.....Guess the quote, then add a new one....

[DrDaddy]

Looks like I inadvertently started a Shakespeare quotations thread on the Film quotes...Have been challenged by Worktostaysane. Come on all you English scholars! Here's an easy one to start us off:

"Kiss me Kate!"

or past compare - not sure soz

Hijack - what you doing Beety, directing?

yes MT

Is the feminist one Taming of the Shrew, MT?

The quality of mercy is not strained.
It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven.

it is EW.

That's Anne from Richard II.

Erm..

Demand of me nothing: what you know,
you know;
from this time forth I will never speak word.

No, the quality of mercy is Portia from Merchant of Venice, MT.

Martianbishop still hasn't spilled the beans about gilding the gold not the lily.

Demand of me nothing ... I guess Cordelia from King Lear??

Famous last words:

"You will find me a grave man tomorrow."

Aw, of course!

Mine was Iago's last words.

Oh EW - Mercutio in Romeo & Juliet

And sorry

"Misery acquaints a man with strange bed fellows"

Gilding the lily is from King John

Not one of his best, but what a stonking line eh?

That's right Ifitwasn't.

King John, eh, Martianbishop. No wonder I didn't recognise it. But do you know where the Magna Carta was signed?

At the bottom.

Misery acquaints man with strange bedfellows.

H'mmm, quite a few miserable characters in Shakespeare. Lear? Othello? OK who was it then, Ifitwasn't?

Elastic Woman: I know this, it's "The Tempest"(to go off topic for a moment, the Patrick Stewart version at the RSC last summer was AMAZING!)

How about "Be not afraid of shadows" Clue: one of the History plays

Richard III?

Which Shakespearean character said:
"Toenails, on the other hand, hardly ever grow."

Give up?

Isn't it from that Tom Stoppard play....er...thingy. I'll remember it in a minute

Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead.

Otherwise...I guess it must be Hamlet

Do you mean Rosencratz and Gildernstern are dead, Dr D?
(Not stalking you today, honest )

Yes. I think Rosencrantz says this...

Right. R & G it is.

OK, here's another:

"Man is born free, yet he is everywhere in chains."

Oops. Thought I was posting on the other quotations thread ...Ignore that. It's not Shakespeare obviously.

"On St. Crispin's Day!!"

Man is born free ... is that Voltaire?

No, Jean-Jacques Rousseau.
