Movie quotes

  • (..) - Do you doubt that? I see Prince Hamlet makes a show of love. Beware, Ophelia, do not trust his vows Hold it but a fashion and a toy in blood, a violet in the spring of primy nature Fleeting, not permanent, sweet, not lasting, the suppliance of the moment, no more - No more but so? (..)
