I love Shakespeare

And this time, the reason I made a whole bunch of icons is because I am doing homework, not because I'm stalling! So I can feel accomplished.

Shakespeare and Zelda. XD If I may pimp myself, my icon has a Paradise Lost mini-quote ("Into this wild abyss the wary fiend stood on the brink of hell, and looked awhile, pondering his voyage...") applied to Zelda. :D Now, to your icons!
My favorites are 1 (which is great), 4, 6 (the quote is humorous when paired with that image, a good combo), and 16. Sometimes the image and the text seem to be competing for space, but a little experimentation with spacing can do wonders.
I do wonder, however, why no Twelfth Night quotes: "If music be the food of love, play on!"
"I'm sure care's an enemy to life..."
"She told not her love, but let concealment, like a worm i' the bud, feed on her damask cheek: she pined in thought, and... sat like patience on a monument, smiling at grief. Was this not love indeed?"
And, of course, "Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon 'em."

I really really like "Thou Nature art my goddess." I think I may have to snag it! I promise to credit.

That was the one that started them! Haha...I came across that line while I was writing my term paper on Kin Lear and went, "OH MY GOD!"

...and a spree was born.

Milton quote icon, huh? What an odd coincidence! *pimps self right back*

I do wonder, however, why no Twelfth Night quotes
Because I was just throwing them together quickly, and I plan to do more later. Same reason why, as you put it "the image and the text seem to be competing for space." It's a bad habit of mine to do things lazily and then fix them later...
There were so many I thought of but didn't have time to do. Second post will have those, and good versions of the ones I don't like here.

"If music be the food of love, play on!"
This crossed by mind, but I stupidly didn't realize that it would apply to Zelda! Thank you!

"Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon 'em."
PERFECT. If I wasn't on my way out the door, I would make it right now.

These are just lovely. Taking some, and I'll credit when I use them. I tend to rotate my icons quite a bit. :)

You are so awesome. I took four or five, and will credit.

Oh no! I had bookmarked this entry to come back to later, but not some of them are coming up blank from photobucket. :(

[merigreenleaf]

Err.. "now", I mean.

[leona_chirer]

Yes; that's because those are the ones that I didn't like and redid on the second post, which is here: http://community.livejournal.com/zelda_icons/109127.html#cutid1

Oh, I missed that post! Thanks for the link!
