Yeah, so I don't update a lot, but I couldn't resist the Shakespeare meme. I do love me some Shakespeare. :)

Doubt thou the stars are fire,
Doubt that the sun doth move,
Doubt truth to be a liar,
But never doubt I love.

-from Hamlet's letter to Ophelia

Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments. Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove:
O 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.
Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle's compass come:
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out even to the edge of doom.
If this be error and upon me proved,
I never writ, nor no man ever loved.

-Sonnet 116

Quoth she, 'Before you tumbled me,
You promis’d me to wed.'
'So would I ha' done, by yonder sun,
An thou hadst not come to my bed.'

-Ophelia in Hamlet, Act IV, Scene V

I love how Shakespeare can be so dirty. :)

Obviously, Hamlet is my favorite and, obviously, Kate Winslet has greatly influenced my Shakespeare love.
