Which,

And
we must take the current when it serves,
Or
lose our ventures.”

loved Ophelia: forty thousand brothers
Could
not, with all their quantity of love,
Make
up my sum. What wilt thou do for her?...
'Swounds,
show me what thou'lt do:
Woo't
weep? woo't fight? woo't fast? woo't tear thyself?
Woo't
drink up eisel? eat a crocodile?
I'll
do't. Dost thou come here to whine?
To
outface me with leaping in her grave?
Be
buried quick with her, and so will I:
And,
if thou prate of mountains, let them throw
Millions
of acres on us, till our ground,
Singeing
his pate against the burning zone,
Make
Ossa like a wart! Nay, an thou'lt mouth,
I'll
rant as well as thou.”

here
Will
I set up my everlasting rest,
And
shake the yoke of inauspicious stars
From
this world-wearied flesh. Eyes, look your last!
Arms,
take your last embrace! and, lips, O you
The
doors of breath, seal with a righteous kiss
A
dateless bargain to engrossing death!”

―
William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet
“My
mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun;
Coral
is far more red than her lips' red;
If
snow be white, why then her breasts are dun;
If
hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head.
I
have seen roses damask'd, red and white,
But
no such roses see I in her cheeks;
And
in some perfumes is there more delight
Than
in the breath that from my mistress reeks.
I
love to hear her speak, yet well I know
That
music hath a far more pleasing sound;
I
grant I never saw a goddess go;
My
mistress, when she walks, treads on the ground:
And
yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare
As
any she belied with false compare.”
―
William Shakespeare, Shakespeare's Sonnets
“There
was a star danced, and under that was I born.”

I were to kiss you then go to hell, I would. So then I can brag with the devils
I saw heaven without ever entering it.”
