Anino ng Kahapon
--ELISEA "SEANG" LIWAYWAY
O pag-ibig! Ang palagingtamis mo'y siya ring madalas mong katampalasan. ... Nagdadalawng kulay ka: matapatin at lilo; ayaw kang maging isang kulay na lamang na dalisay at taimtim.
--ELISEA
Sa buhay na ito ay walang di nagtitiis; pero... hindi sapagkat natitiis, ang lahat naman ng sapitin ng tao ay pagtitiisan na lamang at hindi ihanap ng lunas.
--MODESTO "INTONG" MAGSIKAP
Hindi lahat ng ibinubunga ng pag-ibig ay mabuti.
--ABDUL
Kinakailangan namang sikapin ng sinumang mabuting tao na mapahaba, hangga't mangyayari, ang kanyang buhay, sapagkat kung dahil sa kapabayaan niya'y mapugto ay kahin-hinayang na totoo ang mahalagang buhay na dapat pa niyang magawa sa huli, at sa ganito'y siya rin ang masisisi ng panahon.
--MODESTO
Ang lalong dapat katakutan ng isang tao ay ang parusang ikinakapit sa mga walang kasalanan.
--MODESTO
Ang di pagtanda agad ay talagang ugali na ng isang taong walang sukal sa loob, walang pinapanginoon, at malayang makagawa ng bawat ibigin.
--ABDUL
Huwag kang manghawak sa sumpa: ang sumpa ay sa bibig lamang.
--MODESTO
Ang panunumpa hangga't di tinutupad ay hindi sukat paniwalaan. Wala man sa loob at di tinatanggap ng budhi ay nasasabi't napapaooohan ng bibig.
--MODESTO
Ang pagpapahinga... ay nauukol lamang sa mga taong may mabigat na gagawing naidaos na at siyang ikinahapo.
--MODESTO

As You Like It
Whoever lov'd that lov'd not at first sight.
--HERO and LEANDER (Marlowe)
What, shepherdess, so fair and so cruel?
Disdain beseems not cottages, nor coyness maids;
for either they be condemned to be too proud, or too froward.
Take heed, fair nymph, that in despising love,
you be not overreached with love,
and in shaking off all, shape yourself to you own shadow...
--GANYMEDE, Rosalynde (Thomas Lodge, 1950)
For always the dulness of the fools is the whetstone of the wits.
--CELIA
"As wit and fortune will."
--ROSALIND
"And mine to eke out hers."
--CELIA
"Beauty provoketh thieves sooner than gold."
--ROSALIND
"But as all is mortal in nature, so is all nature in love, mortal in folly."
--CLOWN
There was no thought of you when she was christen'd.
--ORLANDO
The worst fault you have, is to be in love.
--JACQUES
Love is merely a madness.
--ROSALIND
Omittance is no quittance.
--AUDREY
Those that are in extremity of either, are abominable fellows,
and betray themselves to every modern censure,
worse than drunkards.
--ROSALIND
Why, 'tis good to be sad and say nothing.
--JACQUES
...To have seen much, and to have nothing,
is to have rich eyes and poor hands.
--ROSALIND
Time is the old justice that examines all such offenders,
and let Time try again.
--ROSALIND as GANYMEDE
"The fool doth think he is wise, but the wise man knows himself to be a fool."
...In all this time there was not any man died in his own person (videlicet) in a love-cause..
-ROSALIND
