Jewel: Quotations from Shakespearian Quotations

Can the world buy such a jewel? IF. Talk'st thou to me of ifs.— R. III. iii. 4.

All these you may avoid but the lie direct; and you may avoid that too, with an if. I knew when seven justices could not make up a quarrel; but when the parties were met themselves, one of them thought but of an if'; as, if you said so, then I said so; and they shook hands, and swore brothers. Your if is the only peace-maker; much virtue in if.— A.Γ. v. 4.

Ignorance

O thou monster, ignorance, how deform'd dost thou look— L. L. iv. 2.

Ignorance is the curse of God.— H. VI. PT. II. iv. 7.

Dull, unfeeling, barren ignorance. Short-arm'd ignorance.— T. C. ii. 3.

Ill-Favoured

He is deformed, crooked, old, and sere, Ill-faced, worse-bodied, shapeless every where; Vicious, ungentle, foolish, blunt, unkind, Stigmatical in making, worse in mind.— C. E. iv. 2.

Illiterate

Sir, he hath never fed of the dainties that are bred in a book; he hath not eat paper, as it were; he hath not drunk ink: his intellect is not replenished; he is only an animal; only sensible in the duller parts.— L. L. iv. 2.
