That is a wonderful line, spoken appropriately by Ophelia in Act IV Scene 5. Posted by blazedale on Aug 25, 2007. |

My favorite is probably "To thine own self be true" (Act I, Scene 3). Posted by tishmel on Sep 9, 2007. |

Pithy remarks like these two are among my favorites: "...one may smile and smile and be a villain" (1.5.109) and "Madness in great ones must not unwatched go" (3.1.104) Posted by cybil on Feb 21, 2008. |
