…a little muscle to it and you throw him across the room. But only then. You never use muscle at the wrong moment. For as Shakespeare knew perfectly well, there is a tide in the affairs of men which taken at its flood leads on to fortune, and so Wu…

…what is called in Chinese Gung, Japanese Gu, the void. That's what is important: that we, most of us don't know this. Even Shakespeare has one of his characters saying: oh that this all too solid flesh would melt. But do you know you're much more space…

…we're not very conscious of. It's the way you think that determines your basic reactions to what happens. In the words of Shakespeare, there is nothing either good or ill but thinking makes it. So thinking is talking to yourself inside your head and we,…

…seven years of English in school, most of it very, very badly taught and it's irrelevant English they learn all about Shakespeare and dickens and Thackeray and Thomas Hardy and so on, and therefore they can't carry on an everyday conversation. It's like…

…the English made you see an absolutely gorgeous translation. The people, the generation of the British that produced marlow and Shakespeare and spencer, produced this piece of literature. And so we compare every other scripture all over the world by…

…One of the fools of the Court of England, Raheer, founded st Bartholomew's Hospital out of his wealth. Well as the fool, as Shakespeare puts it, within the hollow crown that rounds the mortal temples of a King, keeps death his court. And there the antic…

…a living organism, is not some sort of separate existence coated by a skin which divides you from the REST of the world. Shakespeare has King John saying to Hubert: Within this wall of flesh there is a soul, counts thee her creditor. Within this wall of…

…we don't think that that's trivial. We don't think it's trivial to play the organ in church. We don't think that the plays of Shakespeare are trivial, they're plays. A play, you see in the sense that I'm using it is a musical thing, it is a dance it…
