Day #30: Your Favorite Single Line
Last day! Tune in tomorrow as I begin the 30 Days of TV meme! (Because posting every day is actually good for me.

Meantime, though, my favourite single line of Shakespeare. Which is a hard question, because there are so many many brilliant glorious gorgeous lines in Shakespeare. Lines to make you laugh, lines to make you cry, lines for every occasion in the whole world. All the world's a stage... Let your indulgence set me free... Plots have I laid, inductions dangerous... O for a muse of fire... Beautiful things. But ultimately, at least today, my favourite...

To die, to sleep, to sleep, perchance to dream...

I Cannot Hide What I Am

I must be sad when I have cause and smile
at no man's jests, eat when I have stomach and wait
for no man's leisure, sleep when I am drowsy and
tend on no man's business, laugh when I am merry and
claw no man in his humour...
I had rather be a canker in a hedge than a rose in
his grace, and it better fits my blood to be
disdained of all than to fashion a carriage to rob
love from any: in this, though I cannot be said to
be a flattering honest man, it must not be denied
but I am a plain-dealing villain. I am trusted with
a muzzle and enfranchised with a clog; therefore I
have decreed not to sing in my cage. If I had my
mouth, I would bite; if I had my liberty, I would do
my liking: in the meantime let me be that I am and
seek not to alter me.
