"Out! Out! Damn Spot!" - said angrily to a messy dog.
"So let it be with Caesar..." - to a waiter bearing salad.
"Get thee to a nunnery!" - not going anywhere near that one, being something of a feminist. "Methinks the lady doth protest too much." - that's definitely me that one.
I love Shakespeare and I loved the famous quotes that you posted. I taught "The Tempest" to the fourth graders in my school; it was a slightly abridged version for children but all Shakespeare's language. Each day we read a scene and talked about it. On a certain day, every kid raised their hands and begged to read Caliban. Why? Because in the next scene, Caligan says, "Why my lord, I do smell of all horse piss!" I said, "Let's all play Caliban for a moment and say that line. And with great vigor we said it. The kids loved the play and they loved talking about the quote you put up.
I'm excited to see your book sales surpass the number of people you know. That's amazing (if a bit scary, I'm sure)! I started digging into it yesterday and I'll absolutely be reviewing it once I'm all the way through. The Tempest was the first Shakespeare play I saw in person and it absolutely changed the way I viewed The Bard. When I saw you reimagined it in a Sci-fi setting I was over the moon (pun intended)!
I hope you get the rest and recovery you need. You absolutely deserve it.
Lover of Shakes, here. These were great lines and great bits of advice. I especially liked your own warning about glittery turds. One must be ever alert for them!
As You Like It is such an underrated play. It might be my favorite work of Shakespeare. Meanwhile, I found the line "Shake it off" from Tempest last week. He does have everything English can offer!

These are fantastic quotes to remember.
