Beyond Reason
Sweet, above thought I love thee.
–Troilus and Cressida,
Act III, Scene i

The strong base and building of my love
Is as the very centre of the earth,
Drawing all things to it.
-Troilus and Cressida,
Act IV, Scene ii

In kissing, do you render or receive?
The kiss you take is better than you give.
–Troilus and Cressida,
Act IV, Scene v

This is the monstruosity in love… that the will
is infinite and the execution confined, that the
desire is boundless and the act a slave to limit.
-Troilus and Cressida,
Act III, Scene ii

When we vow to weep seas, live in fire, eat rocks, tame tigers…
This is the monstruosity in love.
^Troilus and Cressida,
Act III, Scene ii

I am giddy; expectation whirls me round.
The imaginary relish is so sweet
That it enchants my sense…
Troilus and Cressida,
Act III, Scene ii

Is this the generation of love? Hot blood, hot
thoughts, and hot deeds? Why, they are vipers:
is love a generation of vipers?
-Troilus and Cressida,
Act III, Scene i
