Movie quotes

  • (..) Sit, worthy friends. Pray you, keep seat. The fit is momentary. Upon a thought he will again be well. If much you note him, you shall offend him and extend his passion. Feed and regard him not. Are you a man? Ay, and a bold one that dare look on that which might appal the devil. (..)
