1. Lovers and madmen have such seething brains,
Such shaping fantasies, that apprehend
More than cool reason ever comprehends.
~ Theseus, A Midsummer Night's Dream.
2. Love is merely a madness, and I tell you, deserves as well a dark house and a whip as madmen do; and the reason why they are not so punished and cured is that the lunacy is so ordinary that the whippers are in love too.
~ Rosalind, As You Like It.
3. Alas, that love, so gentle in his view
Should be so tyrannous and rough in proof.
~ Benvolio, Romeo and Juliet.
4. Men have died from time to time and worms have eaten them, but not for love.
~ Rosalind, As You Like It.
Shakespeare sure had some right notions about love.
