The remarkable thing about Shakespeare is that he really is very good, in spite of all the people who say he is very good.
-- Robert Graves (1895 - 1985)
I know not, sir, whether Bacon wrote the works of Shakespeare, but if he did not it seems to me that he missed the opportunity of his life.
-- James M. Barrie (1860 - 1937)
Now we sit through Shakespeare in order to recognize the quotations.
-- Orson Welles (1915 - 1985)
After all, all he did was string together a lot of old, well-known quotations.
-- H. L. Mencken (1880 - 1956), on Shakespeare
We've heard that a million monkeys at a million keyboards could produce the complete works of Shakespeare; now, thanks to the Internet, we know that is not true.
-- Robert Wilensky, speech at a 1996 conference
