You

You (stressed /ˈjuː/, unstressed /jə/) is the second-person personal pronoun, both singular and plural, and both nominative and oblique case, in Modern English. The oblique (objective) form you functioned previously in the roles of both accusative and dative, as well as all instances after a preposition. The possessive forms of you are your (used before a noun) and yours (used in place of a noun). The reflexive forms are yourself (singular) and yourselves (plural).

Famous quotes containing the word you:

    You are a villain. I jest not. I will make it good how you dare, with what you dare, and when you dare.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Writing is not like painting where you add. It is not what you put on the canvas that the reader sees. Writing is more like a sculpture where you remove, you eliminate in order to make the work visible. Even those pages you remove somehow remain.
    Elie Wiesel (b. 1928)

    You see things; and you say “Why?” But I dream things that never were; and I say “Why not?”
    George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
