Famous quotes containing the words character and/or shakespeare:

    Crime seems to change character when it crosses a bridge or a tunnel. In the city, crime is taken as emblematic of class and race. In the suburbs, though, it’s intimate and psychological—resistant to generalization, a mystery of the individual soul.
    Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)

    Thriftless ambition, that will raven up
    Thine own life’s means!
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
