Everyday Shakespeare: Lines for Life

"Shakespeare had an extraordinary ear and hand. He was able to capture everyday thoughts and emotions, pin them to a page, and express them in such a way that, today, they can make us feel stunned to be seen. With a quote for every day of the year, this beautiful book gathers the finest lines from the lesser-known corners of Shakespeare's plays and poems. While you may not be familiar with these 400-year-old phrases, you will be surprised by the immediate, easy resonance they have with modern day-to-day life and, hopefully, inspired to learn a few quotes, say them out loud, and drop them into conversation. Each page bears a gift of Shakespearean delight, around which lies a treasure trove of trivia, miscellaneous fact, and opportunities for reflection"--Publisher's description.
