Quote & Fact...

"There is nothing so confining as the prisons of our own perceptions."
"Never play with the feelings of others, because you may win the game, but the risk is that you will surely lose the person for life time"
~ William Shakespeare
Facts: William Shakespeare
1.) His legacy doesn’t stop at his plays and how many words he created – but even in the afterlife, he leaves a lasting display of his wit. Buried in 1616, the playwright was said to write his tombstone inscription which reads: “Good friend, for Jesus’ sake forebeare, To digg the dust enclosed heare; Bleste be the man that spares thes stones, And curst be he that moves my bones.” (he put a curse upon his grave. I love it!)
2.) He had close connections with King James I. The King made the actors of Shakespeare’s company ‘Grooms of Chamber’, in response to which Shakespeare changed the company’s name from the ‘Lord Chamberlain’s Men’ to the ‘King’s Men’. The new title made Shakespeare a favourite with the King and in much demand for Court performances. (I don't know why, but I always thought that he was disliked by the royals. Made an ass out of me for assuming.)
