Quotes used in Episode 16

"As surfeit is the father of much fast,
So every scope by the immoderate use
Turns to restraint."
   Measure for Measure

"Age cannot wither her, nor custom stale
Her infinite variety. Other women cloy
The appetite they feed, but she makes
Hungry, where most she satisfies."
   Antony and Cleopatra

My glass shall not persuade me I am old
As long as youth and thou are of one date.
   Sonnets

When my love swears that she is made of truth,
I do believe her though I know she lies,
That she may think me some untutored youth,
Unlearned in the world’s false subtelties.
Thus vainly thinking that she thinks me young,
Although she knows my days are past the best,
Simply I credit her false speaking tongue,
On both sides thus is simple truth suppressed.
But wherefore says she not she is unjust?
And wherefore say I not that I am old.
O love’s best habit is in seeming trust
And age in love loves not to have years told.
Therefore I lie with her and she with me
And in our faults by lies we flattered be
   Sonnets

Your voice is ever soft,
Gentle and low, an excellent thing in a woman,
    King Lear

(You are) another Juno, who starves the ears she feeds
And makes them hungry, the more she gives them speech
   Pericles

"This will last out a night in Russia,
When nights are longest there"
   Measure for Measure

True hope is swift, and flies with swallow's wings:
Kings it makes gods, and meaner creatures kings.
    King Richard III

‘ .. for we are gentlemen,
That neither in our hearts nor outward eyes,
Envy the great, nor the low despise.
    Pericle

"….and though authority be a stubborn
bear, yet he is oft led by the nose with gold."
   Winter’s Tale

"And my more having would be as a sauce
To make me hunger more: that I should forge
Quarrels unjust against the good and loyal,
Destroying them for wealth."
    Macbeth

"…the fool multitude, that choose by show,
Not learning more than the fond eye doth teach’
    Merchant of Venice

"…falser than vows made in wine’.
    As You Like It

"…..'tis so strange,
That, though the truth of it stands off as gross
As black and white, my eye will scarcely see it"
    King Henry V

"If this were played upon a stage now,
I could condemn it as an improbable fiction."
    Twelfth Night

Thou makest faults graces that to thee resort.
As on the finger of a throned queen
The basest jewel will be well esteem'd,
So are those errors that in thee are seen
To truths translated and for true things deem'd.
    Sonnets

The quote to guess for this episode is:
"The devil can cite scriptures for his purpose.
An evil soul, producing holy witness
Is like a villain with a smiling cheek;
A goodly apple, rotten at the heart;"
O, what a goodly outside falsehood hath."

".. The sweetest honey
Is loathsome in his own deliciousness,
And in the taste confounds the appetite:
Therefore, love moderately; long love doth so;
Too swift arrives as tardy as too slow."
   Romeo and Juliet
