Just For Herself
She is a woman, therefore may be woo’d;
She is a woman, therefore may be won;
She is [herself], therefore must be loved.
Titus Andronicus,
Act II, Scene i

She is a woman, therefore may be woo’d;
She is a woman, therefore may be won;
She is [herself], therefore must be loved.
Titus Andronicus,
Act II, Scene i

Kind is my love to-day, to-morrow kind,
Still constant in a wondrous excellence;
– Sonnet CV (105)

This is the very ecstasy of love,
Whose violent property fordoes itself
And leads the will to desperate undertakings
As oft as any passion under heaven
That does afflict our natures.
–Hamlet,
Act II, Scene i

O, swear not by the moon, the inconstant moon,
That monthly changes in her circled orb,
Lest that thy love prove likewise variable.
Do not swear at all;
Or, if thou wilt, swear by thy gracious self,
Which is the god of my idolatry,
And I’ll believe thee.
–Romeo and Juliet,
Act II, Scene ii

I will a round unvarnish’d tale deliver
Of my whole course of love.
-Othello
Act I, Scene iii

Things base and vile, folding no quantity,
Love can transpose to form and dignity.
–A Midsummer Night’s Dream,
Act I, Scene i

Love’s heralds should be thoughts,
Which ten times faster glide than the sun’s beams,
Driving back shadows over louring hills.
–Romeo and Juliet,
Act II, Scene v
