Monday Morning Memo

Indy & Elroy discover later that morning, when they stumble back to the Bird & Baby for some meat pie and a mug of mead, that the gent, who they presumed was William Shakespeare, was actually his cousin Wally Shakespeare.  A notoriously bad playwright but a delightful conversationalist and noted for plagiarizing others quotes.  They also learn that Wally ran up their tab.  

Wally Shakespeare quotes: 

Neither lender nor borrower be, but if they are willing to buy you a beer, let them lest you make them feel less than.
 
All that glitters is not gold … but it doesn’t mean it can’t be sold and turned into gold.
 
Hell is empty and all the devils are here … and they are far more fun than a cathedral full of saints.
 
Now is the winter of our discontent … and it’s fiendishly chilly too.
 
The lady doth protest too much, methinks … but buy her a couple more rounds and see if she comes around.
 
Brevity is the soul of wit …  and while not everyone can be witty, all can be brief, hush hush. 
 
Fair is foul, and foul is fair: Hover through the fog and filthy air. And make sure to change your underwear.
 
Good night, good night! parting is such sweet sorrow, That I shall say good night till it be morrow. And by damn i’ll have a devil of a hangover.
 
Something is rotten in the state of Denmark. Thank goodness i’m not in Denmark.”

Random Quote:

“Is there a more gentle way to go into the night
than to follow an endless rope of sentences
and then to slip drowsily under the surface of a page
into the first tentative flicker of a dream?
All late readers know this sinking feeling of falling
into the liquid of sleep and then rising again
to the call of a voice that you are holding in your hands, as if pulled from the sea back into a boat… Is there a better method of departure by night
than this quiet bon voyage with an open book,
the sole companion who has come to see you off,
to wave you into the dark waters beyond language?”

- Billy Collins, from Reading Myself to Sleep
