Shakespeare meme!

I am inventing an enormously geeky meme, stemming from my current Bard kick. You can stick it in your own journal or just tell me in comments, I'm easy.

What's your favourite bit of Shakespeare?

I am crazy about the Prologue from Henry V, but I have a two-way tie for my favourite lines. (Don't even pretend to be surprised.)

Here's much to to with hate, but more with love.
Why then, O brawling love! O loving hate!
O anything, of nothing first create!


(Romeo and Juliet)

&

Our revels now are ended. These our actors,
As I foretold you, were all spirits and
Are melted into air, into thin air:
And, like the baseless fabric of this vision,
The cloud-capp'd towers, the gorgeous palaces,
The solemn temples, the great globe itself,
Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve
And, like this insubstantial pageant faded,
Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff
As dreams are made on, and our little life
Is rounded with a sleep.


(The Tempest)


And...you?
