What piece of work is a man, how noble in reason, how infinite in faculties, in form and moving how express and admirable, in action how like an angel, in apprehension how like a god: The beauty of the world, the paragon of animals - and yet, to me, what is this quintessence of dust?

Most movies, once the action starts there's no more characters. You say a couple of dumb lines and then there's just explosions until the end Picture Quote #1

All action is for the sake of some end; and rules of action, it seems natural to suppose, must take their whole character and color from the end to which they are subservient Picture Quote #1

Christian morality (so called) has all the characters of a reaction; it is, in great part, a protest against Paganism.

Whoe'er he be that in this foul proceeding hath thus beguiled your daughter of herself, and you of her, the bloody book of law you shall yourself read in the bitter letter after your own sense; yea, though our proper son stood in your action Picture Quote #1
