How like a winter
hath my absence been. From thee, the pleasure of the fleeting year!
What freezings have I felt, what dark days seen, What old December's
bareness everywhere!
-- Absence
Parting is such
sweet sorrow.
-- Absence
Oh! it offends me
to the soul to hear a robust periwig-pated fellow, tear a passion to
tatters, to very rags, to split the ears of the groundlings.
-- Acting And Actors
Speak the speech,
I pray you, as I pronounced it to you -- tripping on the tongue; but
if you mouth it, as many of your players do, I had as Leif the
town-crier spoke my lines. Nor do not saw the air too much with your
hand, thus, but use all gently; for in the very torrent, tempest,
and as I may say, the whirlwind of your passion, you must acquire
and beget a temperance that may give it smoothness.
-- Acting And Actors
If it were
done when 'tis done, then t'were well. It were done quickly.
-- Action
Suit the
action to the world, the world to the action, with this
special observance, that you overstep not the modesty of
nature.
-- Action
Be great
in act, as you have been in thought.
-- Action
Action is
eloquence.
-- Action
William Shakespeare
1564-1616, British Poet, Playwright, Actor
