One of my favourite lines in Shakespeare

http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-505263_162-57532311/j.k-rowling-on-the-private-world-in-my-head/- Charlie Rose mentions Hitchens’ Harry Potter Review - JK Rowling Interview - CBS

http://www.nytimes.com/2007/08/12/books/review/Hitchens-t.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0 - Hitchens’ review

‘The distinctly slushy close of the story may seem to hold out the faint promise of a sequel, but I honestly think and sincerely hope that this will not occur. The toys have been put firmly back in the box, the wand has been folded up, and the conjuror is discreetly accepting payment while the children clamor for fresh entertainments. (I recommend that they graduate to Philip Pullman, whose daemon scheme is finer than any patronus.) It’s achievement enough that “19 years later,” as the last chapter-heading has it, and quite probably for many decades after that, there will still be millions of adults who recall their initiation to literature as a little touch of Harry in the night.’

Henry V - Act 4, prologue

‘His liberal eye doth give to everyone, Thawing cold fear, that mean and gentle all Behold, as may unworthiness define, A little touch of Harry in the night.And so our scene must to the battle fly, Where, Oh, for pity, we shall much disgrace, With four or five most vile and ragged foils Right ill-disposed in brawl ridiculous, The name of Agincourt. Yet sit and see, Minding true things by what their mock’ries be.’ http://nfs.sparknotes.com/henryv/page_150.html

The Winter's Tale

Why, that was when
Three crabbed months had sour'd themselves to death,
Ere I could make thee open thy white hand,
And clap thyself my love; then didst thou utter.
"I am yours for ever - Leontes

POINS

Now, my good sweet honey lord, ride with us tomorrow. I have a jest to execute that I cannot manage alone. Falstaff, Peto, Bardolph, and Gadshill shall rob those men that we have already waylaid. Yourself and I will not be there. And when they have the booty, if you and I do not rob them, cut this head off from my shoulders.

PRINCE HAL

I’ll so offend to make offense a skill,

Redeeming time when men think least I will.
