“Nay, could their numbers countervail the stars,Or ever-drizzling drops of April showers,Or wither'd leaves that autumn shaketh down,Yet would the Soldan by his conquering powerSo scatter and consume them in his rage, That not a man should live to rue their fall.”
Christopher Marlowe“O, thou art fairer than the evening air Clad in the beauty of a thousand stars; Brighter art thou than flaming Jupiter When he appear'd to hapless Semele; More lovely than the monarch of the sky In wanton Arethusa's azur'd armsExcerpt From: Christopher Marlowe. “The Tragical History of Doctor Faustus”
Christopher Marlowe, Dr. Faustus“A third...candidate for Shakespearean authorship was Christopher Marlowe. He was the right age (just two months older than Shakespeare), had the requisite talent, and would certainly have had ample leisure after 1593, assuming he wasn't too dead to work.”
Bill Bryson, Shakespeare: The World as Stage“While money doesn't buy love, it puts you in a great bargaining position.”
Christopher Marlowe“O, thou art fairer than the evening air clad in the beauty of a thousand stars.”
Christopher Marlowe“What are kings, when regiment is gone, but perfect shadows in a sunshine day?”
Christopher Marlowe“I count religion but a childish toy, and hold there is no sin but ignorance.”
Christopher Marlowe“Come live with me and be my love, And we will all the pleasures prove, That valleys, groves, hills, and fields, Woods, or steepy mountain yields.”
