Never shake thy gory locks at me!
I had to memorize 19 quotes from Macbeth for my english class and now they're stuck in my head. It's funny and I occasionally say them to myself because they're so funny. So maybe let's just list some famous/funny/memorable quotes and laugh at them together!
well why dont you start
I think s/he already did
(the thread nameNever shake thy gory locks at me!)
I have a plan: attack!
yeah, i started it by saying - Never shake thy gory locks at me!
I'm a guy, by the way.
"Ending is better than mending!"
That is a slogan from 'Brave New World' I am reading at the moment and I keep repeating it to myself...

This is one of my favorites from act 5 of Midsummer night's dream.
Pyramus
I see a voice: now will I to the chink,
To spy an I can hear my Thisby's face. Thisby!
Thisbe
My love thou art, my love I think.
I saw a really bad stage production of this play, but this last scene is hard to mess up particularly when the actors are bad, because their already playing bad actors! LOL!!
Hwæt! We Gar-Dena in geardagum,/Þeodcuninga þrum gefrunon,/hu ða æþelingas ellen fremedon!
Oft Scyld Scefing sceaþena þreatum,/ monegum mægþum, meodosetla ofteah,/ egsode eorlas, syððan ærest wearð/ feasceaft funden; he þæs frofre gebad,/ weox under wolcnum, weorðmyndum þah,/ oðþæt him æghwylc þara ymbsittendra/ofer hronrade hyran scolde,/gomban gyldan. Þæt wæs god cyning!
A few of my favorites:
"Be great in act, as you have been in thought."
"He who has injured thee was either stronger or weaker than thee. If weaker, spare him; if stronger, spare thyself."
"I wasted time, and now doth time waste me."
"In time we hate that which we often fear."
"Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind."
"All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players.
They have their exits and their entrances;
And one man in his time plays many parts."
Quotes from Dr Seuss are all afloat these days:
"I meant what I said, and I said what I meant.
An elephant's faithful, one hundred percent."
"I do not like green eggs and ham
I do not like them Sam I am."
"How did it get so late so soon?"
And of course my all time favorite:
"My dear Watson..." I use that far too often.

KCN, Very funny about all those 19 Macbeth quotes which will probably be with you for the remainder of your life! Don't know if that is good or bad, but it is not harmful I know that. I once played the 2nd murder and can still recall his line. It was very funny since we were grovelling on the floor while Macbeth was nearly shouting at us with insults. Then later played Macduff and can recall his line, "I believe drink gave thee the lie in the throat last night" to the Porter or something like that. I like Macbeth's lines, "Blow wind! Come wrack! At least we'll die with harness on our back!" Also his more quiet, "How can such things be and overcome us like a summer's day without our special wonder?"
