Hamlet Quotes

Westward, beyond the still pleasant, but, even then, no longer solitary, hamlet of Charing, a broad space, broken here and there by scattered houses and venerable pollards, in the early spring of 1467, presented the rural scene for the sports and pastimes of the inhabitants of Westminister and London Picture Quote #1

Doing Shakespeare in the Park has always been a dream. Everyone else says Hamlet, but I want to play Romeo Picture Quote #1

In a hamlet of ten households, there are bound to be those who are my equal in doing their best for others and in being trustworthy in what they say, but they are unlikely to be as eager to learn as I am Picture Quote #1

The mind of man, though perhaps the most splendid achievement of evolution, is not, surely, that answer to every problem of the universe. Hamlet suffers, but the Gravediggers go right on with their silly quibbles Picture Quote #1

Toronto is already in the toils of Christmas, and from several windows the hollow Ho Ho! Of a mechanical Santa Claus may be heard. Children watch these creatures with hard, calculating eyes, wondering if the old man is really crazy, or only pretending to be, like Hamlet Picture Quote #1

A reader who quarrels with postulates, who dislikes Hamlet because he does not believe that there are ghosts or that people speak in pentameters, clearly has no business in literature Picture Quote #1

A reader who quarrels with postulates, who dislikes hamlet because he does not believe that there are ghosts or that people speak in pentameters, clearly has no business in literature.

Would Hamlet have felt the delicious fascination of suicide if he hadn't had an audience, and lines to speak? Picture Quote #1

Consciousness is the materia poetica that Shakespeare sculpts as Michelangelo sculpts marble. We feel the consciousness of Hamlet or Iago, and our own consciousness strangely expands Picture Quote #1

O Hamlet, speak no more. Thou turn'st mine eyes into my very soul, and there I see such black and grained spots As will not leave their tinct Picture Quote #1

Though yet of Hamlet our dear brother's death the memory be green, and that it us befitted to bear our hearts in grief, and our whole kingdom to be contracted in one brow of woe, yet so far hath discretion fought with nature that we with wisest sorrow think on him together with remembrance of ourselves Picture Quote #1

Beneath those rugged elms, that yew tree’s shade, where heaves the turf in many a mouldering heap, each in his narrow cell for ever laid, the rude forefathers of the hamlet sleep Picture Quote #1

Hamlet: Do you see yonder cloud that’s almost in shape of a camel? Polonius: By the mass, and ‘tis like a camel, indeed. Hamlet: Methinks it is like a weasel. Polonius: It is backed like a weasel. Hamlet: Or like a whale? Polonius: Very like a whale Picture Quote #1

Hamlet, that’s the only role there is, finally. The only role. After that, you settle down and only do the fun things on stage Picture Quote #1

If you decide to do Hamlet in a funny hat staged in a ruined factory, it doesn’t make you Shakespeare Picture Quote #1

I do everything I can to have a diverse career because I just want to have options. I know that I can do Hamlet or I can do Stanley Kowalski, you know Picture Quote #1

I started to realise that it wasn’t for me. Perhaps I didn’t have to give my Hamlet before I died, that the world might be an OK place without my Hamlet, in fact Picture Quote #1

I don’t make much distinction between being a stand-up comic and acting Shakespeare - in fact, unless you’re a good comedian, you’re never going to be able to play Hamlet properly Picture Quote #1

I have no desire to play King Lear or Hamlet. I never had a grand ambition. I just followed my nose Picture Quote #1

The thing that I had saved up for myself and wanted most to bring off was a fully fledged professional production of Hamlet at the Royal Shakespeare theater in Stratford Picture Quote #1
