Shakespeare had an ear and hand that was able to capture our everyday thoughts and emotions, pin them to a page, and express them so well that still today they can make us feel stunned to be seen.Better three hours too soon than a minute too late.Make not your thoughts your prisons.Wisely and slow. They stumble that run fast.And I have heard it said, unbidden guests are often welcomest when theyre gone.With a quote for every day of the year, this beautiful book gathers the finest lines from the lesserknown corners of Shakespeares plays and poems. While you may not be familiar with these 400yearold phrases, you will be surprised by the immediate, easy resonance they have with modern daytoday 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.The Crystals son and father draw attention to points of daily life, literary, linguistic, and theatrical interest through their entertaining commentary. They offer notes of context for anyone who wants to know who originally said the words, in which play, and why. And finally, the authors provide three indexes, allowing readers to help find the right quote for a task, or to followup on a quotes original source.Shakespeares words are a mirror for us to peer into, to see if any part of ourselves, familiar or strange, is visible. Each day as you read his lines, youll get glimpses of loves youve known, jealousies youve felt, relationships youve had, and situations youve encountered that bring a smile or a wince of familiarity.Everyday Shakespeare shares the simple lines that encapsulate the wondrous complexity of life, and the enduring appeal of the Bard.Shakespeare was not of an age, but for all time. Ben Jonson
