Shakespeare: A Surprising Aid
At the beginning of this semester, I was disappointed with the mandatory Shakespeare class I needed to take. Before, I had always begrudged reading anything by Shakespeare. But after taking the class, reading six of the plays, and learning all the complicated components included in his writing, it is no wonder I never liked the plays before when I would barely be reading the material.

This was an enjoyable read. The characters were alive on the page. I was a little disappointed by the ending, seemed somewhat rushed. But otherwise, a really well written book. The short story after the novel was excellent as well. Really interesting ...more |

“The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown”
― Supernatural Horror in Literature
― Supernatural Horror in Literature
“The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents... some day the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therein, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the light into the peace and safety of a new Dark Age.”

“No one's life should be rooted in fear. We are born for wonder, for joy, for hope, for love, to marvel at the mystery of existence, to be ravished by the beauty of the world, to seek truth and meaning, to acquire wisdom, and by our treatment of others to brighten the corner where we are.”

“The greatness of a man is not in how much wealth he acquires, but in his integrity and his ability to affect those around him positively.”

“But the Hebrew word, the word timshel—‘Thou mayest’— that gives a choice. It might be the most important word in the world. That says the way is open. That throws it right back on a man. For if ‘Thou mayest’—it is also true that ‘Thou mayest not.”
