← All quotes by William Shakespeare

3 quotes

Why, all delights are vain; but that most vain,
Which, with pain purchas'd, doth inherit pain.

One fire burns out another's burning,
One pain is lessen'd by another's anguish.

Romeo and Juliet (1597)

Oh, I have suffered
With those that I saw suffer.
