CONGRATS, Jason!
Here’s how to play…Identify the quote by telling me what book it’s from. Leave a comment with the # of the quote and the title of the book and I’ll cross it off the list. No Googling, that’s cheating and no fun! If you know them all, please don’t guess every one.
Hint: The quotes came from these plays. Some are used twice. A Midsummer Night’s Dream, As You Like It, Hamlet, Julius Caesar, Macbeth, Richard III, Romeo & Juliet, The Merchant of Venice, Twelfth Night
1. “Parting is such sweet sorrow” ROMEO & JULIET
2. “Beware the ides of March” Jason, Julius Caesar
3. “Off with his head!” RICHARD III
4. “The course of true love never did run smooth” A MIDSUMMER NIGHT’S DREAM
5. “The lady doth protest too much” Janet, Hamlet
6. “All that glitters is not gold” THE MERCHANT OF VENICE
7. “Double, double toil & trouble” Jason, Macbeth
8. “To sleep, perchance to dream- ay, there’s the rub” HAMLET
9. “A plague on both your houses” Jason, Romeo &Juliet
10. “All the world’s a stage” AS YOU LIKE IT
11. “Cowards die many times before their deaths” JULIUS CAESAR
12. “Something wicked this way comes” MACBETH
13. “Lord, what fools these mortals be” Lisa, A Midsummer Night’s Dream
14. If music be the food of love, play on” TWELFTH NIGHT
15. “The winter of our discontent” Duane, Richard III
#15, the one with the typo 🙂 (“our” instead of “out”), is Richard III.
And I could swear #3 is from Alice in Wonderland. 🙂

Duane, You are correct about both things. But, Off with his head is also from one of the plays. Good catch!

#7 is from Macbeth. I think #3 is from Waterboy.
Ok, Off with his head is very popular 🙂 Waterboy, really? Hint: It is from Act III, Scene IV.
#13 is from a Midsummer Night’s Dream (and also from one of Neil Gaiman’s early Sandman series of graphic novels).
Hint-The first 3 plays guessed also have another quote on the list.

#9 is Romeo & Juliet
#5 Hamlet
#2 is Julius Caesar
