I am very proud, revengeful, ambitious, with more offences at my beck than I have thoughts to put them in, imagination to give them shape, or time to act them in. What should such fellows as I do crawling between earth and heaven? We are arrant knaves, all. Believe none of us. Go thy ways to a nunnery. Where’s your father?
I am arrogant, vengeful, ambitious, with more ill will in me than I can fit into my thoughts, and more than I have time to carry it out in. Why should people like me be crawling around between earth and heaven? Every one of us is a criminal. Don’t believe any of us. Hurry to a convent. Where’s your father?
OPHELIA
At home, my lord.
OPHELIA
He’s at home, my lord.
HAMLET
Let the doors be shut upon him, that he may play the fool no where but in ’s own house. Farewell.
HAMLET
Lock him in, so he can play the fool in his own home only. Good-bye.

O, help him, you sweet heavens!

Oh, dear God, please help him!
HAMLET
If thou dost marry, I’ll give thee this plague for thy dowry. Be thou as chaste as ice, as pure as snow, thou shalt not escape calumny. Get thee to a nunnery, go. Farewell. Or, if thou wilt needs marry, marry a fool, for wise men know well enough what monsters you make of them. To a nunnery, go, and quickly too. Farewell.
HAMLET
If you marry, I’ll give you this curse as your wedding present—be as clean as ice, as pure as the driven snow, and you’ll still get a bad reputation. Get yourself to a convent, at once. Good-bye. Or if you have to get married, marry a fool, since wise men know far too well that you’ll cheat on them. Good-bye.
OPHELIA
Heavenly powers, restore him!
OPHELIA
Dear God, please make him normal again!
HAMLET
I have heard of your paintings too, well enough. God has given you one face and you make yourselves another. You jig and amble, and you lisp, you nickname God’s creatures and make your wantonness your ignorance. Go to, I’ll no more on ’t. It hath made me mad. I say, we will have no more marriages. Those that are married already, all but one, shall live. The rest shall keep as they are. To a nunnery,

Good name in man and woman, dear my lord, Is the immediate jewel of their souls.

Truth be told, Dr. Seuss > Mr. Shakespeare

He wasn't a real doctor...wasn't even a real Seuss

Well Bill Shakespeare was probably a fricking child-rapist. It doesn't take away from his work. I stand by my position.

You take that back. It was a cultural norm at the time! My Boy billy shakes was no kiddie diddler!
Posted on 7/15/14 at 7:58 am to fr33manator
Alright, so most of Bill's "victims" were probably willing participants trying to score a part in a play.
Now YOU admit that Theodor Seuss Geisel was more than deserving of the title "Doctor" and was a middle-named Seuss.

Teddy G. Was a literary genius with far reaching effects who also drew porno cartoons. His honorary literary doctorate was well deserved.
