But Men are Men;
The Best SometimesForget
I see, lady, the gentleman is not in your books.
Am I Not Consanguineous?
Do I stand there? I never had a brother:
Nor can there be that deity in my nature
Of here and everywhere. I had a sister
Whom the blind waves and surges have devoured:--
Of charity, what kin are you to me?
What countryman, what name, what parentage?
~Twelfth Night~

Family
[/size]A Sweet-Face Man; a Proper Man
So we grew together,
Like to a double cherry, seeming parted,
But yet an union in partition.

Friends and Acquaintances
[/size]Gladstone: It seems we see eye to eye, oh "wizened" warrior. Methinks there be a spark of friendship, but nay--the moment I say of such, it dies, reduced to coals. A secret, then, between us two. Shall we converse, lightly, upon the intellectuals of yesteryear?
Peach Greene: You have a good head on your shoulders, aside from the stubborn kick of womanhood. But I must admit your name doth suit you; as sweet as peaches, your air is ripe with love. Although it may take some time for us to blossom into a friendship, patience is a virtue.Celesta Schwarzenblatt: Despite your affinity for war, I find intellectual conversation very stable with you. It is with ease that we converse upon the greater writers of the past; but despite your mind, there is a lack of humanity behind your eyes. Alas, only friendship spurs between us.
Rude am I in My Speech?
Set you down this;
And say besides, that in Aleppo once,
Where a malignant and a turbaned Turk
Beat a Venetian and traduced the state,
I took by the throat the circumcised dog,
And smote him, thus.
~Othello~

Enemies
Matteo De Luca: Although there not be hatred between our bodies, a static doth exist. Blood may boil, it may even run, but never the brightest red as vengeance or hatred may make. The possibility of recovery remains.[/size]
This is the Very Ecstasy of Love.
Then if he says he loves you,
It fits ... your wisdom so far to believe it
...Then weigh what loss your honor may sustain,
If with too credent ear you list his songs,
Or lose your heart, or your chaste treasure open
To his unmaster'd importunity.
~Hamlet~

Love and Lust
Selena Davies: Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind; and therefore is winged Cupid painted blind. You are a beauty, I give you that. But your mind, while swift, is not blessed with the arrow of Cupid's bow. It seems your love is one-sided, young lady.[/size]
