O heavy deed! It had been so with us, had we been there.
King
It will be laid to us, whose providence should have kept short, restrained, and out of haunt this mad young man.
King
We would not understand what was most fit, but, like the owner of a foul disease,
King
How dangerous is it that this man goes loose! Yet must not we put the strong law on him. He's loved of the distracted magnitude who like not in their judgement, but their eyes...
King
But if, indeed, you find him not within this month, you shall nose him as you go up the stairs into the lobby
Hamlet
My mother. Father and mother is man and wife, Man and wife is one flesh, (and) so, my mother.
Hamlet to King
... by letters congruing to that effect, the present death of Hamlet. Do it, England, for like the hectic in my blood he rages, and thou must cure me.
King
Two thousand souls and twenty thousand ducats will not debate the question of this straw. This is th' impostume of much wealth and peace, that inward breaks and shows no cause without why the man dies.
Hamlet
How all occasions do inform against me and spur my dull revenge.
Hamlet
What is a man if his chief good and market of his time be but to sleep and feed? A beast, no more.
Hamlet
Sure He that made us with such large discourse, looking before and after, gave us not that capability and godlike reason to fust in us unused.
Hamlet
Each toy seems prologue to some great amiss.
Queen
How should I your true love know from another one? By his cockle hat and staff and his sandal shoon.
Ophelia
Tomorrow is Saint Valentine's day, all in the morning betime, and I a maid at your window, to be your Valentine. Then up he rose and donned his clothes let in the maid, that out a maid never departed more."-
Ophelia
Before you tumbled me, you promised me to wed.
Ophelia
When sorrows come, they come not single spies, but in battalions
King
poor Ophelia divided from herself and her fair judgment, without the which we are pictures or mere beasts
King
That drop of blood that's calm proclaims me bastard, cries 'cuckold' to my father, brands the harlot even here between the chaste unsmirched brow of my true mother.
Laertes
Let him go, Gertrude. Do not fear our person.
King
I dare damnation. To this point I stand, that both the worlds I give to negligence, let come what comes, only I'll be revenged most thoroughly for my father.
Laertes
If by direct or collateral hand they find us touched, we will our kingdom give, to you in satisfaction; but if not, be you content to lend your patience to us, and we shall jointly labor with your soul to give it due content.
King
The Queen his mother lives almost by his looks, and for myself (my virtue or my plague, be it either which), she is so (conjunctive) to my life and soul that, as the star moves not but in his sphere, I could not but by her.
King
why to go public count I might not go is the great love the general gender bear him...
King
... so that my arrows, too slightly timbered for so (lous a wind) would have reverted to my bow again, but not where I have aimed them."-
King
You shortly shall hear more. I loved your father, and we love ourself, and that, I hope, will teach you to imagine"-
King
... and for his death no wind of blame shall breathe, but even his mother shall uncharge the practice and call it accident."-
King
... but that I know love is begun by time and that I see, in passages of proof, time qualifies the spark and fire of it.
King
... and nothing is at a like goodness still; for goodness, growing to a pleurisy
King
That we would do we should do when we would; for this 'would' changes...
King
To cut his throat i' the' church
Laertes
... revenge should have no bounds.
King
Is she to be buried in Christian burial, when she willfully seeks her own salvation?
Gravedigger
If this had not been a gentlewoman, she should have been buried out o' Christian burial.
Other gravedigger
Custom hath made it in him a property of easiness
Horatio
Dost thou think Alexander looked o' this fashion i' th' earth?
Hamlet to Horatio
What is he whose grief bears such an emphasis, whose phrase of sorrow conjures the wand'ring stars and makes them stand like wonder-wounded hearers? This is I, Hamlet the Dane.
Hamlet
Now pile your dust upon the quick and dead till of this flat a mountain you have made t' o'ertop old Pelion or the skyish head of blue Olympus.
Laertes
For though I am not splenitive (and) rash, yet have I in me something dangerous, which let thy wisdom fear.
Hamlet
The cat will mew, and dog will have his day.
Hamlet
Good Gertrude, set some watch over your son.
King
In my heart there was a kind of fighting that would not let me sleep.
Hamlet to Horatio
There is a divinity that shapes our ends, rough-hew them how we will---
Hamlet
(Why, man, they did make love to this employment.)
Hamlet about R+G
'Tis dangerous when the baser nature comes between the pass and fell incensed points of mighty opposites.
Hamlet
Thy state is the more gracious, for tis a vice to know him
Hamlet to Horatio
I shall win at the odds; (but) thou wouldst not think how ill all's here about my heart.
Hamlet
Not a whit. We defy augury. There is (a) special providence in the fall of a sparrow. If it be (now),'tis not to come; if it be not to come, it will be now; if it be not now, yet it (will) come. The readiness is all.
Hamlet
Since no man of aught he leaves knows, what is't to leave betimes? Let be.
Hamlet
And yet it is almost against my conscience
Laertes
Why as a woodcock to mine own springe, Osric. I am justly killed with mine own treachery
Laertes
I am more an antique Roman than a Dane
Horatio
If thou didst ever hold me in thy heart, absent thee from felicity awhile and in this harsh world draw thy breath in pain to tell my story.
Hamlet
On Fortinbras; he has my dying voice. So tell him, with th' occurrents, more and less, which have solicited--the rest is silence.
Hamlets last words
Good night sweet prince, and flights of angels sing thee to thy rest
Horatio
Let four captains bear Hamlet like a soldier to the stage
Fortinbras
Such a sight as this becomes the field but here shows much amiss.
Fortinbras
