Twenty Three. Manhattanite.
things my shakespeare professor said over the past semester
“toni morrison did not develop the career she has because she spent her time in drug-fueled orgies.” EDIT: my friend reminded me that our prof said orgies, not threesomes, and that the following sentence was “no, she spent her time at her desk producing very fine novels.”
(about acting in shakespeare) “this is not the golden globes or whatever, if you’re not white, you can still participate.”
“many important things are discovered on the way to the restroom.”
(what sonnets mean) “please sleep with me”, “i wish i could be with you so we could get it on, but you’re far away and we can’t so all i can send you is a dumb poem”
“juliet is a very smart chick.”
(a few vague threats) “oh, i laugh, but people cried.” “i will cut you.” “when i am sardonic, you will feel bad.”
(about the histories) “it’s mentally easy if you see it all as game of thrones.”
“the plantagenets were no longer in charge, which was good, because they were bitches.”
(about richard III being obsessed with anne) “i’m not just some horny dude that wants to sleep with you, it’s just that you’re so hot that i had to mow down everyone else in my way to get to you.”
“what’s the fun of throwing a party if you don’t not invite people?”
“you fuck with my kids, your kids are going in a pie.”
“the people who are in love [in comedies] are usually young, dumb, and boring.”
“comedies begin in shit places- if the play opens and the sky is falling, you’re in a comedy.”
(about ephesus in the comedy of errors) “everyone’s a witch here, let’s just bail.”
“henry VIII breaks with the roman church and fucking destroys every monastery in sight.”
“henry V started off as a party-going, panty-chasing loser.”
(about hamlet’s entrance in I.ii) “it’s always fun to arrive late to the party, it does imply that you have a fascinating social life.”
“conspiracies are erotic.”
“art, am i right?”

I think I fall in love a little bit with anyone who shows me their soul. This world is so guarded and fearful. I appreciate rawness so much.
