Hamlet Movie Quotes

Hamlet To be or not to be, that is the question. Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, or take arms against a sea of troubles, and by opposing, end them.

Hamlet Now mother, what's the matter?

Gertrude Hamlet, thou hast thy father much offended.

Hamlet Mother, you have *my* father much offended.

Gertrude Come, come, you answer with an idle tongue.

Horatio Two nights together had these gentlemen, Marcellus and Barnardo, on their watch in the dead waste and middle of the night, been thus encountered. A figure like your father, armed at all points exactly, cap-a-pie, appears before them, and with solemn march goes slowly and stately by them. Thrice he walked by their oppressed and fear-surprised eyes within his truncheon's length, whilst they distilled almost to jelly with the act of fear, stand dumb and speak not to him. This to me in dreadful secrecy impart they did and I with them the third night kept the watch where, as they had delivered, both in time, form of the thing, each word made true and good the apparition comes. I knew your father. These hands are not more like.

Hamlet But where was this?

Marcellus My lord, upon the platform where we watched.

Hamlet Did you not speak to it?

Horatio Oh, my lord, I did, but answer made it none. Yet once methought it lifted up its head and did address itself to motion like as it would speak, but even then the morning cock crew loud, and at the sound it shrunk in haste away and vanished from our sight.

Hamlet 'Tis very strange.

Horatio As I do live, my honored lord, 'tis true, and we did think it writ down in our duty to let you know of it.

Hamlet Indeed, indeed, sirs. But this troubles me. Hold you the watch tonight?

Barnardo My lord, we do.

Hamlet Armed, say you?

Horatio Horatio, Marcellus, Barnardo: Armed, my lord.

Hamlet What, from top to toe?

Marcellus My lord, from head to foot.

Hamlet Then saw you not his face.

Horatio O, yes, my lord. He wore his beaver up.

Hamlet What looked he? Frowningly?

Horatio A countenance more in sorrow than in anger.

Hamlet Pale or red?

Horatio Nay, very pale.

Hamlet And fixed his eyes upon you?

Horatio Most constantly.

Hamlet I would I had been there.

Horatio It would have much amazed you.

Hamlet Alas, poor Yorick! I knew him, Horatio - a fellow of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy. He hath bore me on his back a thousand times, and now how abhorred in my imagination it is! My gorge rises at it. Here hung these lips that I have kissed I know not how oft. Where be your gibes now? Your gambols? Your songs? Your flashes of merriment that were wont to set the table on a roar?

Hamlet I have of late, but wherefore I know not, lost all my mirth, forgone all custom of exercises; and indeed, it goes so heavily with my disposition that this goodly frame, the earth, seems to me a sterile promontory; this most excellent canopy, the air, look you, this brave o'erhanging firmament, this majestical roof fretted with golden fire! Why, it appears no other thing to me than a foul and pestilent congregation of vapours. What a piece of work is man! How noble in reason! How infinite in faculties! In form and moving, how express and admirable! In action how like an angel! in apprehension, how like a god! The beauty of the world! The paragon of animals! And yet, to me, what is this quintessence of dust?
