Having experienced the taste of true love, I am forced to admit that kings are very poor. And let me remain misunderstood.

There is no barrier in this world that sincere love cannot overcome. - William Shakespeare

There is no greater harmony in the world than the soft sound of the voice of love. She is able to pacify anyone, even the gods.

Sincere feelings cannot be expressed openly in words. If you talk to everyone about them, then the door of your soul is closed.

W. Shakespeare: Often lovers are no better than innkeepers: both of them seal false accounts with their oaths.

In separation, real feelings only grow stronger, feigned ones fade away.

You can only know true happiness and sorrow in this life by falling in love and being abandoned.

A person who says that he does not show off his feelings in reality and does not love, because it is impossible not to express the feelings that overwhelm you with actions.

Lovers separated against their will seem to be irrevocably speechless.

Love is not love
If she changes, having discovered the change,
Oh no! She is an eternal sign
Which looks like a storm, but never shakes.
This is a star for a wandering bark,
Whose value is unknown, although whose height is achievable.
Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or Bends with the remover to remove.
Oh no! It is an ever-fixed mark,
That looks on tempests and is never shaken.
It is the star to every wandering bark,
whose worth’s unknown, although his height be taken.

Meaningful love is good, but unconscious love is better. – Love sought is good, but given unsought, is better.

Love is the smoke that rises with the power of sighs,
Purified fire sparkling in the eyes of lovers,
An angry ocean, filled with their tears.
But what else? The most prudent madness
Successfully preserved sweetness.
Love is a smoke raised with the fume of sighs,
Being purged, a fire sparkling in lovers' eyes,
Being vexed, a sea nourished with lovers’ tears.
What is it else? A madness most discreet,
A choking gall and a preserving sweet.

Your beautiful face -
A world of earthly blessings for my soul,
Since the language of love unites our thoughts.
For thou hast given me in this beautiful face
A world of earthly blessings to my soul,
If sympathy of love unite our thoughts.

Doubt that the stars are burning;
Doubt that the sun moves in a circle;
Doubt the truth, which may turn out to be a lie;
But never doubt that I love.
Doubt thou the stars are fire;
Doubt that the sun doth move;
Doubt truth to be a lie;
But never doubt I love.

Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind;
That is why the winged Cupid is blind.
Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind;
And therefore is winged Cupid painted blind.

They love because love is for two,
At least its essence is one;
Two different, but without division.
So they lov’d as love in twain
Had the essence but in one;
Two distinct, divisions none.

One half of me is yours, the other half of me is
My own; but if what's mine is yours,
Then I'm all yours!
One half of me is yours, the other half yours-
Mine own, I would say; but if mine, then yours,
And so all yours!

This is my love - I belong to you,
Therefore, I will endure anything.
Such is my love, to thee I so belong,
That for your right myself will bear all wrong.

For me, my dear friend, you will never grow old.
'Cause I always look into your eyes
And in them I still see your beauty.
To me, fair friend, you can never be old.
For as you were when first your eye I eyed,
Such seems your beauty still.

Can you be compared to a summer day?
Your charm is more beautiful and sweeter:
Rough winds shake the precious buds of May,
And the summer days are not long at all.
Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer’s lease hath all too short a date.

Like a daylight lamp; her eyes are in heaven
Penetrate through the spheres so brightly
That the birds will sing at night as if during the day.
As daylight doth a lamp; her eyes in heaven
Would through the airy region stream so bright
That birds would sing and think it were not night.

William Shakespeare is an English poet and playwright, often considered the greatest English-language writer and one of the world's best playwrights. Often called the national poet of England. The extant works, including some written jointly with other authors, consist of 38 plays, 154 sonnets, 4 poems and 3 epitaphs. Shakespeare's plays have been translated into all major languages ​​and are performed more often than the works of other playwrights.

Shakespeare was born and raised in Stratford-upon-Avon. At 18, he married Anne Hathaway, with whom he had three children: daughter Suzanne and twins Hamnet and Judith. Shakespeare's career began between 1585 and 1592, when he moved to London. He soon became a successful actor, playwright, and co-owner of a theater company called the Lord Chamberlain's Men, later known as the King's Men. Around 1613, at the age of 48, he returned to Stratford, where he died three years later. There is little historical evidence of Shakespeare's life, and theories about his life are based on official documents and the testimony of contemporaries, therefore, questions regarding his appearance and religious views are still discussed in the scientific community, and there is also a point of view that the works attributed to him were created by someone else; it is popular in culture, although rejected by the vast majority of Shakespeare scholars.

Most of Shakespeare's works were written between 1589 and 1613. His early plays are mainly comedies and chronicles, in which Shakespeare excelled considerably. Then a period of tragedies began in his work, including the works “Hamlet”, “King Lear”, “Othello” and “Macbeth”, which are considered among the best in history. English language. At the end of his career, Shakespeare wrote several tragicomedies and also collaborated with other writers.

Many of Shakespeare's plays were published during his lifetime. In 1623, two of Shakespeare's friends, John Heming and Henry Condell, published the First Folio, a collection of all but two of Shakespeare's plays currently included in the canon. Later, several more plays were attributed to Shakespeare by various researchers with varying degrees of evidence.

Already during his lifetime, Shakespeare received praise for his works, but he truly became popular only in the 19th century. In particular, the Romantics and Victorians worshiped Shakespeare so much that Bernard Shaw called it "bardolatry." Shakespeare's works remain popular today and are constantly being studied and reinterpreted to suit political and cultural conditions.
