“I am convinced that we have a degree of delight, and that no
small one, in the real misfortunes and pains of others.”

“Man delights not me--nor woman neither, though, by your smiling
you seem to say so.”
William Shakespeare Quotes Source: Hamlet Prince of Denmark (Hamlet at II, ii)

“Why, all delights are vain, but that most vain
Which, with pain purchased, doth inherit pain:
As, painfully to pore upon a book,
To seek the light of truth, which truth the while
Doth falsely blind the eyesight of his look.”
William Shakespeare Quotes Source: Love's Labor's Lost (Berowne at I, i)

“This Tharsus, o'er which I have the government,
A city on whom Plenty held full hand,
For Riches strewed herself even in her streets;
Whose towers bore heads so high they kissed the clouds,
And strangers ne'er beheld but wond'red at;
Whose men and dames so jetted and adorned,
Like one another's glass to trim them by;
Their tables were stored full, to glad the sight,
And not so much to feed on as delight;
All poverty was scorned, and pride so great
The name of help grew odious to repeat.”
William Shakespeare Quotes Source: Pericles Prince of Tyre (Cleon at I, iv)

“These violent delights have violent ends
And in their triumph die, like fire and powder,
Which, as they kiss, consume.”
William Shakespeare Quotes Source: Romeo and Juliet (Friar Laurence at II, vi)
