i love Williams Shakespeare
the best wise and captivating lines
i played on 2 shakespeare plays, hamlet and midsummers night dream
great love quotes, and the best part, is that you can find quotes depending on what you want to …your love state…or what you want to say to someone else…very useful for writing love notes!
(great love quotes)
Loved it.i loved this application its so beautiful and romantic application i ever seen
These Shakespeare love quotes are the BOMB! I use them on women and they work! Especially in cyberdating. They melt a woman’s heart like a heavy metal lead guitar melts faces. Your site is a fresh source of bait to catch beautiful gorgeous women!
Marvellous quotes! They really work to fish out pretty and wonderful ladies.
the most lovable lines.
I just watched a great Comden/Green musical, “Always Fair Weather” (I believe), directed by and starring Gene Kelly, where he and Cyn Charise banter about a great Shakespeare quote about love that you are missing. I was hoping you would have it, but still have the movie, so will find the scene. A bit more acerbic than most of the saccharine stuff above and so well worth your adding…
Would love to hear it – the more love quote the merrier
these quotes are not amazing enough that can move our minds
Shakespeare is not with us . But his feeling of True Love is spread and ingrained in the Hearts of not only Every True Lover, but evry reader of Shakespeare.
Shakespearean Love quotes are the Best. I use them to impress my fiancee . Whenever i am hurt by him , I just read shakespearean Love quotes and feel proud to be Loved and to Be in Love. . I Love You so much Anchu. Thanks to Shakespeare and this website
william shakespeare is my insperation for life and i lufff him with all my heart!♥
I believe the “Doubt that the stars are fire” quote is incorrect. There is no “his aides” in these lines. It should be “Doubt that the stars are fire, doubt that the sun doth move, doubt truth to be a liar, but never doubt I love”
quotes by shakespeare is really great. no wonder he’s the best writer of all time (at least i thought he was)
Technically, William Shakespeare was the best English play write, but however you want to say it is fine.
if only writes now-a-day were as inspiring and true as Shakespeare was
He’s indeed the genius of all generations.
nice,… I’ve been looking for this. Asking for Permission to re-post on my blog

thanks in advance
Please do!
I love someone on account of Shakespear
i really love shakespeare quotes bcz his thinking is v.deep. He is one of the best writer.
I absolutely adore the works of William Shakespeare. While Sonnet 130 has the most memorable lines, the first line indicated in this compilation is, “If music be the food of love, play on”, from Twelfth Night.
What a quote which makes love to overcome death.
The best part of the quote is “i’ll make my Heaven in a lady’s lap”
Shakespear,you are too much
I’ll make my Heaven in a lady’s lap
This and the surrounding lines are about lust. He’s gonna lie and smile and get them in bed and never see them again.
About half of the 50 quotes are about how love isn’t worth the pain, or meaningless sex with malice. You have to know what’s going on. Great lines, but most from a character conflicted. Shakespeare wrote mostly about wanting to keep love strong and failing. That’s what makes it great, or else it’d just be romance.
yeah,, 4reall its da bst website with some good words if at all you wnt to vibe someone…
Wow,thats great.more of those beautifull quote.love u william
Iam mad for her , but why iam not made for her . . . .From this quote of him v know what he is , a awesome lover , a faithfull friend and a true poet..
such genius are born once in many centuries. No doubt that shakespeare is the greatest playwright.
I think Shakespeare was outstanding and never to be forgotten.
this is another remedy for anarchy of love…woooh

I personally speak big words for shakespeare,Had there not been shakespeare the world would have been unripen. His best quotes provide best to the best reader.
My vision got broaden by living in his literature,
the words that haunt me again and again are, ” i ‘ll make my heaven in a lady’s lap”.
And the words that reveal the truth of different jobs of different people in their different lives are, ” Some men die for glory,
some men fight for love,
some are lived for revange”.
It is fact that mind can even forget some portion by anytime but my mind asserts that it can forget The personality like shakespeare untill my end.
Shakespeare is an example of what we should be….. Studying, creativity, expressions, thinking deep, enlighting others and many more…. Shakespeare really got me challenged in my own days and i will continue untill am just like him or even better. Great job by shakespeare, i’m really impressed everytime i read any of his novels and other stuff…. Shakespeare na baba oooo!!!
Wow,William’s brain was extra ordinary…too complex and he was the best of all times
but I will say that I’m write a wisdom for love and that wisdom is:
if the heart palpitate………
that mean the heart saw thou……..
if the heart hallucinate……..
that mean the heart dream of thou……
But ,if the heart love ……….
that mean never ever forget thou………..(شادي عماد عريف اللهاليه)
Love all, trust a few, and do wrong to none. I love you Kerim.
You may not be here with me… But thoughts of you are always in my heart… I Miss You!
336. “Doubt thou the stars are fire, doubt that the sun doth move, doubt truth to be a liar but never doubt that I love.”
Thnx god of gods for such a person in literature….Shakespeare defines immortality…my soul lines “To be or not to be.that is the question..”
When reading Shakespeare it makes me feel sad, for all love thrown away, all love lost ,all love given to me. Love I did not return, love not cherished leaving an empty heart.
Awesome quotes of yours, William.:)
I love Shakespeare and his lines and we will miss him.
love, its my only everlasting source of energy, when i faint, when there is no energy left, no courage, its love that keeps me up, i love you love, i love you Shakespear.
I will be a man of love and freedom until the last breath/even if i will not see but misery on my way. Hemn
Silence is the perfectest herald of love
