"A right fair mark, fair coz, is soonest hit."
William Shakespeare
"In the old age black was not counted fair,Or if it were, it bore not beauty’s name. But now is black beauty’s successive heir,And beauty slandered with a bastard shame. For since each hand hath put on nature’s pow'r,Fairing the foul with art’s false borrowed face,Sweet beauty hath no name, no holy bow'r,But is profaned, if not lives in disgrace. Therefore my mistress' eyes are raven black,Her eyes so suited, and they mourners seem At such who, not born fair, no beauty lack,Sland'ring creation with a false esteem. Yet so they mourn, becoming of their woe, That every tongue says beauty should look so."
William Shakespeare

"I am a Jew. Hath not a Jew eyes? Hath not a Jew hands, organs, dimensions, senses, affections, passions; fed with the same food, hurt with the same weapons, subject to the same diseases, heal'd by the same means, warm'd and cool'd by the same winter and summer, as a Christian is? If you prick us, do we not bleed? If you tickle us, do we not laugh? If you poison us, do we not die? And if you wrong us, do we not revenge? If we are like you in the rest, we will resemble you in that."
William Shakespeare
