Hamlet Quotes (page 4)

No! I am not Prince Hamlet, nor was meant to be; Am an attendant lord, one that will do To swell a progress, start a scene or two, Advise the prince; no doubt, an easy tool, Deferential, glad to be of use, Politic, cautious, and meticulous; Full of high sentence, but a bit obtuse; At times, indeed, almost ridiculou? Almost, at times, the Fool. T. S. Eliot
Digression is the soul of wit. Take the philosophic asides away from Dante, Milton or Hamlet's father's ghost and what stays is dry bones. Ray Bradbury
Right at this moment, I only want silence. I believe that the end of life is silence in the love people have for you. I've actually been running through what people have said about the end. Religion says that the end is one thing, because it serves their purpose. But great thinkers alike haven't always agreed. Shakespeare knew how to say it better than anyone else. Hamlet says 'The rest is silence.' And when you think of the noises of everyday life, you realize how particularly desirable that... Vincent Price
Alain de Botton quote: "It would be insane to call Hamlet a loser, though he has lost..."
It would be insane to call Hamlet a loser, though he has lost and I think that is the lesson of tragedy. Alain de Botton
Roger Moore quote: "I would love to be remembered as one of the greatest Lears or..."
I would love to be remembered as one of the greatest Lears or Hamlets. Roger Moore
I don't make much distinction between being a stand-up comic and acting Shakespeare - in fact, unless you're a good comedian, you're never going to be able to play Hamlet properly. Ian Mckellen
Jean Genet quote: "Would Hamlet have felt the delicious fascination of suicide if..."
Would Hamlet have felt the delicious fascination of suicide if he hadn't had an audience, and lines to speak? Jean Genet
Martin Freeman quote: "Most actors are either a shower of bloody scruffs or think..."
Most actors are either a shower of bloody scruffs or think they should dress like Hamlet off stage. Martin Freeman
Brendan Fraser quote: "What if Shakespeare had had a test audience for Romeo and..."
What if Shakespeare had had a test audience for Romeo and Juliet or Hamlet? Brendan Fraser
The trap in Hamlet is he's the most passive of Shakespeare's characters. He's not a Richard III, not out there taking a lot of action. It's a lot of asides and soliloquies where he's wrapped in angst, and that's not a very interesting character. Kurt Sutter
I was so scared of going back to the theatre after 'Hamlet.' I didn't know if I'd do a play again because I was afraid of the power of it. Alan Cumming
Romeo is the most misunderstood character in literature, I think. He's hardcore to play because he's displaying the characteristics of Hamlet at the beginning, and, well, then everything else happens. Alan Cumming
Emile Hirsch quote: "We want to do for 'Hamlet' what Baz Luhrmann did for 'Romeo..."
We want to do for 'Hamlet' what Baz Luhrmann did for 'Romeo and Juliet' in terms of like a really cool kind of re-imagining. Emile Hirsch
I've worked in the Inuit hamlets of the west coast of Hudson Bay since 1994. Over that time I've been very moved by both the pace of social change there - the loss of traditional ways of seeing the world, the affinity for and comfort with the land - and by the social disarray that change of this pace produces. Kevin Patterson
Jones Very quote: "Macbeth is contending with the realities of this world, Hamlet..."
Macbeth is contending with the realities of this world, Hamlet with those of the next. Jones Very
