Seems," madam? nay, it is; i know not "seems." 'tis not alone my inky cloak, good mother, nor customary suits of solemn black, nor windy suspiration of forced breath, no, nor the fruitful river in the eye, nor the dejected 'havior of the visage, together with all forms, moods, shapes of grief, that can denote me truly: these indeed seem, for they are actions that a man might play: but i have that within which passeth show; these but the trappings and the suits of woe.

Seems," Madam? Nay, It Is; I Know

William Shakespeare

Seems," madam? nay, it is; i know not "seems." 'tis not alone my inky cloak, good mother, nor customary suits of solemn black, nor windy suspiration of forced breath, no, nor the fruitful river in the eye, nor the dejected 'havior of the visage, together with all forms, moods, shapes of grief, that can denote me truly: these indeed seem, for they are actions that a man might play: but i have that within which passeth show; these but the trappings and the suits of woe.

More From William Shakespeare

Woe to him whom this world charms from gospel duty. woe to him who seeks to pour oil upon the waters when god has brewed them into a gale. woe to him who seeks to please rather than to appal. woe to him whose good name is more to him than goodness. woe to him who, in this world, courts not dishonor! woe to him who would not be true, even though to be false were salvation. yea, woe to him who, as the great pilot paul has it, while preaching to others is himself a castaway.

Song in the manner of housman" o woe, woe, people are born and die, we also shall be dead pretty soon therefore let us act as if we were dead already. the bird sits on the hawthorn tree but he dies also, presently. some lads get hung, and some get shot. woeful is this human lot. woe! woe, etcetera.... london is a woeful place, shropshire is much pleasanter. then let us smile a little space upon fond nature's morbid grace. oh, woe, woe, woe, etcetera.

But yet, but yet, woe, woe unto those who think that the beat generation means crime, delinquency, immorality, amorality ... woe unto those who attack it on the grounds that they simply don't understand history and the yearning of human souls ... woe in fact unto those who make evil movies about the beat generation where innocent housewives are raped by beatniks! ... woe unto those who spit on the beat generation, the wind'll blow it back.

I felt like it was a courageous show [black-ish] from the beginning. we are a black family - we're not a family that happens to be black. but the show is not even about us being black. the show is about us being a family. that is groundbreaking - on tv, the black characters either happen to be black or they're the "black character," where everything they say is about being black. i think that's the genius.

Grief causes you to leave yourself. you step outside your narrow little pelt. and you can’t feel grief unless you’ve had love before it - grief is the final outcome of love, because it’s love lost. […] it’s the cycle of love completed: to love, to lose, to feel grief, to leave, and then to love again. grief is the awareness that you will have to be alone, and there is nothing beyond that because being alone is the ultimate final destiny of each individual living creature. that’s what death is, the great loneliness.

White people scare the crap out of me. i have never been attacked by a black person, never been evicted by a black person, never had my security deposit ripped off by a black landlord, never had a black landlord, never been pulled over by a black cop, never been sold a lemon by a black car salesman, never seen a black car salesman, never had a black person deny me a bank loan, never had a black person bury my movie, and i've never heard a black person say, 'we're going to eliminate ten thousand jobs here - have a nice day!'

But the truth is, i've never wanted to be a movie star - and i've been pretty clear about that.

A movie is not a book. if the source material is a book, you cannot be too respectful of the book. all you owe to the book is the spirit.

You become the movie you are making.

Well, i always looked at mulan as a movie about a lesbian coming out.
