A Hollows Post: With 90% more quotes!

[fembuck]

So, I’ve come to the conclusion that nobody expresses how I feel better than someone else.  

Therefore, this is a quotes post!

 

IVY

And even for that do I love you the more:
I am your spaniel; and Demetrius,
The more you beat me, I will fawn on you.
Use me but as your spaniel: spurn me, strike me,
Neglect me, lose me: only give me leave,
Unworthy as I am, to follow you.
What worser place can I beg in your love
And yet a place of high respect with me
Than to be used as you use your dog?
-Williams Shakespeare's A Midnight Summer's Dream

Dear Layla,

For nothing more than the pleasures past I would sacrifice my family, my god, and my own existence, and still you will not move. I am at the end of my mind, I cannot go back and there is nothing in tomorrow (save you) that can attract me beyond today. I have listened to the wind, I have watched the dark brooding clouds, I have felt the earth beneath me for a sign, a gesture, but there is only silence. Why do you hesitate, am I a poor lover, am I ugly, am I too weak, too strong, do you know why? If you want me, take me, I am yours . . . 'If you don't want me, please break the spell that binds me. 'To cage a wild animal is a sin, to tame him is divine. 'my love is yours.'

- John Steinbeck

RACHEL

I want someone who will accept the truth about me and doesn't need protection. If I'm a bitch and a fake, is there nobody who will love a bitch and a fake?
- Graham Greene

Answer:  Yes.  Ivy.

RAVY

What I would say to K.H about the Ravy situation at the moment:

Words, words
Merely words
No matter from
The heart
- Troilus and Cressida, William Shakespeare

Why I’m still reading these books despite my frustration:

Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul, and sings the tune without words, and never stops at all.
-Emily Dickinson
