Everyday Shakespeare: Lines for Life

Shakespeare had an ear and hand that was able to capture our everyday thoughts and emotions, pin them to a page and express them so well that still today they can make us feel stunned to be seen.

"Better three hours too soon than a minute too late."
"Make not your thoughts your prisons."
"Wisely and slow. They stumble that run fast."
"And I have heard it said, unbidden guests are often welcomest when they're gone."

With a quote for every day of the year, this beautiful book gathers the finest lines from the lesser-known corners of Shakespeare's plays and poems. While you may not be familiar with these 400-year-old phrases, you will be surprised by the immediate, easy resonance they have with modern day-to-day life and, hopefully, inspired to learn a few quotes, say them out loud and drop them into conversation.
