“Shakespeare never has six lines together without a fault. Perhaps you may find seven, but this does not refute my general assertion.”

“Where there are so many, all speech becomes a debate without end. But two together may perhaps find wisdom.”

“But it is the nature of stars to cross, and never was Shakespeare more wrong than when he has Cassius note, ‘The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars / But in ourselves.”

“A presumption becomes a self-refuting assertion". ~R. Alan Woods [2012]”

“Here was a woman about the year 1800 writing without hate, without bitterness, without fear, without protest, without preaching. That was how Shakespeare wrote, I thought, looking at Antony and Cleopatra; and when people compare Shakespeare and Jane Austen, they may mean that the minds of both had consumed all impediments; and for that reason we do not know Jane Austen and we do not know Shakespeare, and for that reason Jane Austen pervades every word that she wrote, and so does Shakespeare.”

“Five…six…seven. I’m never going to stop…”
