I'm sure most of the people in history who's names have turned into adjectives are most surprised. Aristotelian, Machiavellian, Shakespearean- I'm sure if they came back from the dead and heard how we talked about them they'd be like "what the fuck are you guys doing?" Except for Freud...he'd use that shit to get some, no doubt. "Ya, I invented the Freudian dick- I mean slip--the the Freudian slip..."
Jokes aside, I'm interested in what shakespeare thought of education so I've cobbled together a few quotes from his plays...this will be an on-going document as I find more cool quotes from his plays...
1. From AS YOU LIKE IT: Jacques in the classic "all the worlds a stage" speech explains one of the stages as "...like the snail unwillingly to school..." So even shakespeare hated school sometimes!
2. From ROMEO AND JULIET: a Romeo leaves Juliet's balcony he says "love goes towards love like schoolboys from their books. But love from love, to school with heavy looks." He's comparing school to the opposite of what love is for Romeo.
