Everyday Shakespeare: Lines for Life

Everyday Shakespeare shares the simple lines that encapsulate the wondrous complexity of life, and the enduring appeal of the Bard. "Better three hours too soon than a minute too late." "Make not your thoughts your prisons." "Wisely and slow. They stumble that run fast." "And I have heard it said, unbidden guests are often welcomest when they're gone." With a quote for every day of the year, this beautiful book gathers the finest lines from the lesser-known corners of Shakespeare's plays and poems. While you may not be familiar with these 400-year-old phrases, you will be surprised by the immediate, easy resonance they have with modern day-to-day life and, hopefully, inspired to learn a few quotes, say them out loud, and drop them into conversation. Includes three indexes, allowing readers to help find the right quote for a task, or to follow-up on a quote's original source.
