Interesting Quote of the Moment

Hello all, it's Tristan again and I come with another Quote

For this Interesting Quote of the Moment I decided to go with something out of Hamlet. It's one of my all time favorites as it is good sound advice. In a day and age where everyone wants to be an individual (just like everyone else) it's definitely something to think on.

"This above all, to thine own self be true,
And it must follow as the night and the day
Thou canst not then be false to any man."
-Polonius (Hamlet, Act I Scene iii)


I hope you enjoyed this installment and look tomorrow for yet another post (if all goes according to plan, hehehe).

Interesting Quote of the Moment

Hello all, Tristan at your service.

On my quest for ideas for postings and such I decided that at least twice a week, I will present you all with an interesting line from one of the plays (to be used as many as ice breakers, points of interest, or simply as an attempt at making yourself look cool)

For this installment we have a quote from Comedy of Errors. The subject matter is something that people to this day have trouble speaking of or, on occasion, experiencing (especially with their significant other). That's right, it's all about the flatulence:

A man may break a word with you, sir, and words are but wind,
Ay, and break it in your face, so he break it not behind.
~Dromio of Ephesus-Act III, Scene I

*Quick note: These quotes may come from ANY of Shakespeare's plays. At least one of the Interesting Quotes of the Moment each week will come from one of the plays in the syllabus, I just thought it'd be interesting to branch out a bit. Enjoy!
