William Shakespeare

 

 

What a piece of work is man!

how noble in reason!

how infinite in faculty!

in form and moving how expres and admirable!

in action how like an angel!

in apprehension how like a god!

the beauty of the world!

the paragon of animals!

And yet, to me, what is this quintessence of dust?

man delights not me: no, nor woman neither.

 

(uit: Hamlet, act II)
