Here's some great Shakespearean Quotes, I'm in a shakespeare mood now.  This guy was a genius... honestly, a straight up genius.  Without a doubt, the greatest writer to ever live, some of this stuff is just straight beautiful.  He sounds like a mixture of John Kennedy, Martin Luther King, and Jesus Christ.  

"To thine own self be true" - Hamlet

"We know what we are, but know not what we may become" - Hamlet

By the pricking of my thumbs, Something wicked this way comes." - Macbeth

"How far that little candle throws his beams! So shines a good deed in a naughty world!"

"I could confine myself to a nutshell and declare myself king of infinity" - Hamlet (The G of G's)

If music be the food of love, play on." - twelfth night

There is no good, or bad, but thinking makes it so. " - Hamlet

"Et tu, Brute?" - Julius Caesar (The last words of Caesar, "And you too, Brutus?")

"We are such stuff as dreams are made on" - The Tempest

"The more fool,Madonna,to mourn for your brother's soul,being in heaven." - Twelfth Night

"A horse! My kingdom for a horse" - Richard III

"Cowards die many times before their deaths. The valiant never taste of death but once." - Julius Ceasar (Wow, that's true)

"Away! You are an ass; you are an ass." - Much ado about nothing (Shakespeare meets Infinite)

"Be not afraid of greatness: some are born great, some achieve greatness and some have greatness thrusted upon them." - Twelfth Night

Ophelia: "'Tis brief my lord." Hamlet: "As woman's love."" - Hamlet

Out damned spot, out I say!" - Macbeth (Macbeth, haunted by the thought of blood on his hands after murder)

"For in that sleep of death, What dreams may come when we Have shuffled off this mortal coil, May give us pause." - Hamlet

"Lord, what fools these mortals be!" - A Midsummer Night's Dream

And of course, Hamlet's Famous Soliloquy.  Infinite, you're pretty 'complicated', right? (LOL) then how can totally dismiss something as complicated as this:
    "To be, or not to be: that is the question:
     Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
     The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
     Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
     And by opposing end them? To die: to sleep;
     No more; and by a sleep to say we end
     The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks
     That flesh is heir to, 'tis a consummation
     Devoutly to be wish'd. To die, to sleep;
     To sleep: perchance to dream: ay, there's the rub;
     For in that sleep of death what dreams may come
     When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,
     Must give us pause: there's the respect
     That makes calamity of so long life;
     For who would bear the whips and scorns of time,
     The oppressor's wrong, the proud man's contumely,
     The pangs of despised love, the law's delay,
     The insolence of office and the spurns
     That patient merit of the unworthy takes,
     When he himself might his quietus make
     With a bare bodkin? who would fardels bear,
     To grunt and sweat under a weary life,
     But that the dread of something after death,
     The undiscover'd country from whose bourn
     No traveller returns, puzzles the will
     And makes us rather bear those ills we have
     Than fly to others that we know not of?
     Thus conscience does make cowards of us all;
     And thus the native hue of resolution
     Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought,
     And enterprises of great pitch and moment
     With this regard their currents turn awry,
     And lose the name of action.-- Soft you now!
     The fair Ophelia! Nymph, in thy orisons
     Be all my sins remember'd."

     William Shakespeare

Actually yeah, I think the keystylers lyrics are iller then the Beatles.  John Lennon solo, "Imagine" was a well written song.  (not any better written then "Stan")

But give me a break songs like....

"It's been a hard day and night/
I've been workin like a dog/
It's been a hard day and night/
I should be sleepin like a log"

^^^^^^ Give me a fuckin break.

Man, you must not know crap about the beatles.  They were pop for the first 3 years of their career, then grew into something more advanced than has been seen since.

Yeah, Great Quote.  Lemme give you some Eminem lyrics, compared to some John Lennon lyrics, since we're gonna do it like that.  

Eminem: - "You.  Don't wanna Fuck With Shady.  
Cuz Shady.  Will Fuckin' Kill You. (Repeat, over and over).

And I am, whatever you say I am
If I wasn't, then why would I say I am?
In the paper, the news everyday I am
Radio won't even play my jam

Mentally illll from Amityvilllle (ILLLL)
Accidentally killll your family stillll
Thinkin he won't?  God-damnit he willll (HE'SSSS)
Mentally illll from Amityvilllle "

There, there's some of Eminem's fine work.

Here's some John Lennon, I'll let yall judge:

John Lennon - Across The Universe

Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup,
They slither while they pass, they slip away across the universe
Pools of sorrow, waves of joy are drifting through my open mind,
Possessing and caressing me.
Jai guru de va om
Nothing's gonna change my world,
Nothing's gonna change my world.

Images of broken light which dance before me like a million eyes,
That call me on and on across the universe,
Thoughts meander like a restless wind inside a letter box they
Tumble blindly as they make their way
Across the universe
Jai guru de va om
Nothing's gonna change my world,
Nothing's gonna change my world.

Sounds of laughter shades of earth are ringing
Through my open views inviting and inciting me
Limitless undying love which shines around me like a
Million suns, it calls me on and on
Across the universe
Jai guru de va om
Nothing's gonna change my world,
Nothing's gonna change my world.

John Lennon - Revolution

You say you want a revolution
Well you know
We all want to change the world
You tell me that it's evolution
Well you know
We all want to change the world
But when you talk about destruction
Don't you know you can count me out
Don't you know it's gonna be alright
Alright Alright

You say you got a real solution
Well you know
We'd all love to see the plan
You ask me for a contribution
Well you know
We're doing what we can
But when you want money for people with minds that hate
All I can tell you is brother you have to wait
Don't you know it's gonna be alright
Alright Alright

You say you'll change the constitution
Well you know
We all want to change your head
You tell me it's the institution
Well you know
You better free your mind instead
But if you go carrying pictures of Chairman Mao
You ain't going to make it with anyone anyhow
Don't you know know it's gonna be alright
Alright Alright

John Lennon - Let me take you down, 'cause I'm going to Strawberry Fields.
Nothing is real and nothing to get hungabout.
Strawberry Fields forever.

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see.
It's getting hard to be someone but it all works out, it doesn't matter much to me.
Let me take you down, 'cause I'm going to Strawberry Fields.
Nothing is real and nothing to get hungabout.
Strawberry Fields forever.

No one I think is in my tree, I mean it must be high or low.
That is you can't you know tune in but it's all right, that is I think it's not too bad.
Let me take you down, 'cause I'm going to Strawberry Fields.
Nothing is real and nothing to get hungabout.
Strawberry Fields forever.

Always, no sometimes, think it's me, but you know I know when it's a dream.
I think I know I mean a 'Yes' but it's all wrong, that is I think I disagree.
Let me take you down, 'cause I'm going to Strawberry Fields.
Nothing is real and nothing to get hungabout.
Strawberry Fields forever.
Strawberry Fields forever.

John Lennon - Working Class Hero

As soon as you're born they make you feel small
By giving you no time instead of it all
Till the pain is so big you feel nothing at all
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be

They hurt you at home and they hit you at school
They hate you if you're clever and they despise a fool
Till you're so fucking crazy you can't follow their rules
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be

When they've tortured and scared you for twenty odd years
Then they expect you to pick a career
When you can't really function you're so full of fear
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be

Keep you doped with religion and sex and TV
And you think you're so clever and classless and free
But you're still fucking peasants as far as I can see
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be

There's room at the top they are telling you still
But first you must learn how to smile as you kill
If you want to be like the folks on the hill
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be

If you want to be a hero well just follow me
If you want to be a hero well just follow me
