Hamlet South

Famous quotes containing the words hamlet and/or south:

“If I had any doubts at all about the justice of my dislike for Shakespeare, that doubt vanished completely. What a crude, immoral, vulgar, and senseless work Hamlet is. The whole thing is based on pagan vengeance; the only aim is to gather together as many effects as possible; there is no rhyme or reason about it.”
—Leo Tolstoy (1828–1910)

“There are two places in the world where men can most effectively disappear—the city of London and the South Seas.”
