Sorry for the bad blog, but there's a shakespeare quote about loving a girl I'm looking for which is really bugging me because I can't find it and driving me crazy.

It's like 3 to 4 sentences long. The last line goes something like "this is love and love is this to thee." Those words aren't in the right order, but it has the rhyme sequence.

There's also I think the words: love, laugh/laughter, girl, possibly spring, possibly rose.

Sorry for all the ambiguity, but argghh it's driving me crazy!

Okay, well that is quite vague, so I am doing what I can here, but from your description is sounds like one of the sonnets, not from a play, although it could be. My best guess without more information would be the brilliant Sonnet 18 which, in its entirety, is this:

Sonnet 18

Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date:
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimmed,
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance, or nature's changing course untrimmed:
But thy eternal summer shall not fade,
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st,
Nor shall death brag thou wander'st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st,
So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.

Now, that may not be what you are looking for, but I would suggest digging through the Sonnets first. If that is not what you are looking for, try to dig up a bit more info and I will see what I can find.

This doesn't match your description exactly, but it's rather similar

Sonnet 18 - Shakespeare

Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate.
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date.
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimmed;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance, or nature's changing course, untrimmed;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade,
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st,
Nor shall death brag thou wand'rest in his shade,
When in eternal lines to Time thou grow'st.
So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.

Awesome, I am glad that we could find it for you. I used to study Shakespeare quite a bit in college, so add that with my pretty good Googeling skills and we can get what you need. Haha.

The only shakespeare i have memorized is

"What light through yonder window breaks
It is the east, and juliet(te) is the sun"

I should learn the rest of that i guess

Probably should. Hehe. On that note though, there are a few of Shakespeare's Sonnets embedded in the play of Romeo and Juliet. One as the prologue:

Two households, both alike in dignity,
In fair Verona, where we lay our scene,
From ancient grudge break to new mutiny,
Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean.
From forth the fatal loins of these two foes
A pair of star-cross'd lovers take their life;
Whole misadventured piteous overthrows
Do with their death bury their parents' strife.
The fearful passage of their death-mark'd love,
And the continuance of their parents' rage,
Which, but their children's end, nought could remove,
Is now the two hours' traffic of our stage;
The which if you with patient ears attend,
What here shall miss, our toil shall strive to mend.

...and another as the prologue of Act 2:

Now old desire doth in his death-bed lie,
And young affection gapes to be his heir;
That fair for which love groan’d for and would die,
With tender Juliet match’d, is now not fair.
Now Romeo is belov’d and loves again,
Alike bewitched by the charm of looks,
But to his foe suppos’d he must complain,
And she steal love’s sweet bait from fearful hooks:
Being held a foe, he may not have access
To breathe such vows as lovers us’d to swear;
And she as much in love, her means much less
To meet her new-beloved any where:
But passion lends them power, time means, to meet,
Tempering extremity with extreme sweet.

..and another, most famously hidden during the first conversation that the two young lovers have, Act 1, Scene 5:

ROMEO [To JULIET]: If I profane with my unworthiest hand
This holy shrine, the gentle fine is this:
My lips, two blushing pilgrims, ready stand
To smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss.

JULIET: Good pilgrim, you do wrong your hand too much,
Which mannerly devotion shows in this;
For saints have hands that pilgrims' hands do touch,
And palm to palm is holy palmers' kiss.

ROMEO: Have not saints lips, and holy palmers too?

JULIET: Ay, pilgrim, lips that they must use in prayer.

ROMEO: O, then, dear saint, let lips do what hands do;
They pray, grant thou, lest faith turn to despair.

JULIET: Saints do not move, though grant for prayers' sake.

ROMEO: Then move not, while my prayer's effect I take.

I remember when I found those studying back in high school and thinking it was the coolest thing. Haha.

Hamlet is a better play, by far, the top of the top of the tragedies (followed IMO by Othello, Lear, and Titus.) Sorry if you are not on board with WS's spelling of the name. Haha.

Yes, I know it is not a popular opinion at all, but I really enjoy Andronicus, especially when focusing on it as a study on the acts of human violence, man vs. man, how far with people go in violence, and it portrays human violence from so many angles, just and unjust, revenge, avenging, jealousy, rage, violence for honor, for duty, for piety, and just about every other form one could think of. I just find that aspect very intriguing.

I really didn't like it at first, studying it with the foreknowledge of popular opinion and critique, but after a while I reread it and really took to the characters and plot more than anything (as in language or structure.) We love Hamlet for its brilliant language, we love Othello and Lear for their overall tragedy structure, and well, I love Andronicus for its various motivations for human violence.

Not to mention you have to love watching a skilled actor play Aaron, one of the most loathsome people ever to take the stage:

Aaron: Ay, that I had not done a thousand more.
Even now I curse the day—and yet, I think,
Few come within the compass of my curse,—
Wherein I did not some notorious ill,
As kill a man, or else devise his death,
Ravish a maid, or plot the way to do it,
Accuse some innocent and forswear myself,
Set deadly enmity between two friends,
Make poor men's cattle break their necks;
Set fire on barns and hay-stacks in the night,
And bid the owners quench them with their tears.
Oft have I digg'd up dead men from their graves,
And set them upright at their dear friends' doors,
Even when their sorrows almost were forgot;
And on their skins, as on the bark of trees,
Have with my knife carved in Roman letters,
'Let not your sorrow die, though I am dead.'
Tut, I have done a thousand dreadful things
As willingly as one would kill a fly,
And nothing grieves me heartily indeed
But that I cannot do ten thousand more.

In the same vein, I think that the Scottish play is among his most overrated, not just of his tragedies, but his entire catalog.

I never thought Id see a day when someone would ask about a quote or a line from a book or a movie or a song from people in the internet. Isn't that what google is about?

Yes, but some people are just better at working with Google than others. Sometimes it is hard because you may only remember bits and pieces and formatting your query and parsing it properly is not as simple for some in those cases, hence why crowdsourcing for information is so useful.

People who ask instead of Google will never learn how to do it properly. All you have to do to find what the OP is searching for is highlight the line that he posted and add "shakespeare" and you'll find it.
