Default Favorite literature quotes~?   #1  
SO. What are they? Books, poetry, short stories, anything.

My favorite poems all happen to be rather dark, so:
"Ghastly grim and ancient raven wandering from the nightly shore -
Tell me what thy lordly name is on the Night's Plutonian shore!'
Quoth the raven, `Nevermore.'"

Anyone want to take a guess at where that's from? It a bit obvious, and I love that poem.

Quoth the Raven, by Edgar Allen Poe. And if I remember correctly, I read somewhere once that he actually thought it was an amusing story.

It is. The narrator is not quite sane enough to realize that he's heaping his accusations, the products of his own twisted mind, onto the poor Raven.

And, I think it's just "The Raven".
Poe is a genius.

Er.....does that explain any of my music/manga preferences?

No, infact the meer idea of an interest in Poe musically inacts the idea of the Moonlit Sonata composed by Ludwig von Bethoven, or the quiet tails of the moonlit hollows of Sleepy Hollow. Night, illuminated by pale moonlight, dancing leavs, and quiet paths left untouched by men at night are the very essence of Edgar Allen Poe, as in anger, guilt, and alcohol that fueled the man whose own guilt and pitty towards other lead him to become who he was, taking on the name of the man who he felt he had caused to die, or a long lost love who inspired one of his greatest works. Or a man who's knowledge of the unsettling goings on in the shadows lead him to write about a murder that had actually happend.

Poe was a man of many tallents and gifts, whose life was unfortunately cut short, and even more unfortunately, he wished to be rememberd as a hated man, even having pre-wrote his own obituary as if he were a stranger telling about how aweful the writer had been, possibly never dreaming that he would become one of the greatest writers to have ever lived.

Kehehe~ As cheesy as Romeo and Juliet can be, that was a wonderful line.

Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing

I actually haven't read much of it yet.

But love is blind, and lovers cannot see
The pretty follies that themselves commit.

Not entirely sure but sounds like either Shakespear or Jane Auston.

Er....Hamlet?
Never read it; was a guess.

Is it a good play?

In my oppinion, it was the best play ever written by Shakespear. Murder, revenge, love, hate, ghosts, the cost of revenge, and the lengths a man will go to in order to avenge his families honor. While plays such as Macbeth, which was done to impress and honor the man who commisioned Shakespear, or Romeo and Juliet, which is rather Anacranistic in parts, Hamlet is a story that can appeal to men and women alike.
