Shakespeare Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages über Shakespeare:

The anti-apartheid prisoners on the island, like so many in every age and nation, found that Shakespeare had a peculiar ability to gentle their condition. They used to gather clandestinely to read the plays; on one occasion, the book was passed around for each man to mark his favourite lines. Daniel Hannan

'Shakespeare in Love' was a particularly happy film.

Tom Stoppard

I had a feeling about Shakespeare's soliloquies, that there should be a real exchange between the actor and the audience.

Trevor Nunn

And to Shakespeare I owe my vision of the world as a theater, wherein all humans are acting out their parts.

James Broughton

It's not that Shakespeare is frivolous, but you spend your time just getting people to dress up in other people's costumes and pretending to be people that they're not, and you think, after the years go by, well, what on earth was all that about?

Jonathan Miller

On the streets, unrequited love and death go together almost as often as in Shakespeare.

Scott Turow

Yes, it's true, I've been called the Laurence Olivier of spoofs. I guess that would make Laurence Olivier the Leslie Nielsen of Shakespeare.

Leslie Nielsen

Shakespeare is repeated around the world in different languages, just because it's good storytelling.

Cary Fukunaga

When Shakespeare was writing, he wasn't writing for stuff to lie on the page; it was supposed to get up and move around.

Ken Kesey

I've stopped acting, but I don't think I've finished using my voice. I could, and probably will, record the whole of Shakespeare's sonnets. They live at the side of my bed and are my constant companions.

Peter O'Toole

The remarkable thing about Shakespeare is that he really is very good, in spite of all the people who say he is very good.

Robert Graves

There's a statistical theory that if you gave a million monkeys typewriters and set them to work, they'd eventually come up with the complete works of Shakespeare. Thanks to the Internet, we now know this isn't true.

Ian Hart

Shakespeare was the great one before us. His place was between God and despair.

Eugene Ionesco

Now a Protestant confronting a Catholic ghost is exactly Shakespeare's way of grappling with what was not simply a general social problem but one lived out in his own life.

Stephen Greenblatt

Most people, even among those who know Shakespeare well and come into real contact with his mind, are inclined to isolate and exaggerate some one aspect of the tragic fact.

Andrew Coyle Bradley

I loved reading when I was young. I was just completely taken by stories. And I remember taking that into English literature at school and taking that into Shakespeare and finding that opened up a whole world of self-expression to me that I didn't have access to previously.

Chiwetel Ejiofor

The nearest figure to myself would be Shakespeare.

Michael Tippett

I have my sweetheart Yorkshire terrier, Tabasco, along with two cats, Romeo and Jasmine. Yes, I am both a Shakespeare and Disney addict.

Kirsten Prout

Each of my Shakespeare pieces is different to the other, but each espouses a set of philosophies common to all my theatre work.

Tim Crouch

Characters are an extreme form in Shakespeare's theater.

Michael Tippett

My first acting lessons were Shakespeare. The first time I ever started working with a coach was doing scenes from 'Measure for Measure,' which were tough dramatic scenes. And then 'Taming of the Shrew,' which required comedic timing. And that's the kind of stuff I love.

Dave Bautista

Sometimes I just crave to play in Shakespeare again and I know and love playing Orlando so much.

Basil Rathbone

I did a play in New York at the public theater, a Shakespeare play, and M. Night Shyamalan, who is the writer/director of 'The Village,' came and saw me in the play and asked to go to lunch afterwards.

Bryce Dallas Howard

My problem is that the audience is more fiction-literate than ever. In Shakespeare's day, you probably expected to see a play once or twice in your life; today you experience four or five different kinds of fiction every day. So staying ahead of the audience is impossible.

Steven Moffat

As an actress and comedienne, I'm a huge fan of he theatre and the Tricycle in Kilburn is my favourite in London. I dragged my kids to a performance of 'Twelfth Night' there, where they handed out pizza. Who knew that all it takes to get children interested in Shakespeare is a snack?

Arabella Weir

Shakespeare very rarely makes the least attempt to surprise by his catastrophes. They are felt to be inevitable, though the precise way in which they will be brought about is not, of course, foreseen.

Andrew Coyle Bradley

There are plenty of writers, past and present, from Shakespeare to Henry James to Lydia Davis, who test the limits of coherence and put pressure on current notions of accessible (and acceptable) narrative methods. To thrive and change and grow, any art needs this kind of pressure.

Joanna Scott

Dramatic fiction - William Shakespeare made his biggest mark writing dramatic love stories.

Nicholas Sparks

In another life I would be a medievalist. I loved Chaucer, far more than Shakespeare.

Susan Hill

I think academics are infuriating. For every expert on Shakespeare there is another one to cancel his theory out. It drives you up the wall. I think the greatest form of finding out the truth is through fantasy.

Joseph Fiennes

Shakespeare is all big themes, like the most amazing love, or the most scary war.

Anna Torv

The English people, a lot of them, would not be able to understand a word of spoken Shakespeare. There are people who do and I'm not denying they exist. But it's a far more philistine country than people think.

Colin Firth

With Shakespeare, there's no subtext; you're speaking exactly what you're thinking constantly.

Oscar Isaac

I have grown up loving Shakespeare.

Ralph Fiennes

Shakespeare's plays are more violent than 'Scarface.'

Al Pacino

I had been in a Shakespeare company for three years and done a lot of Shakespeare. That was fun. That was interesting.

William Shatner

If I'm serious, yes, I'd like to have done what Shakespeare did... to act and write. You learn so much from acting. One of our great writers, Alan Bennett, does both supremely well. When I write a story, I tend to speak it aloud as I'm writing it.
