Today’s Totally Random Line(s)

 

What? I, that kill’d her husband and his father,

To take her in her heart’s extremest hate,

With curses in her mouth, tears in her eyes,

The bleeding witness of my hatred by,

Having God, her conscience, and these bars against me,

And I no friends to back my suit at all

But the plain devil and dissembling looks?

And yet to win her? All the world to nothing!

Hah!

 

-Richard III

Richard                               Act I, Scene ii, Line 235

 

Richard is congratulating himself on convincing Anne to marry him, even though they both know that he, Richard, killed Anne’s husband and father-in-law. He’s a cocky little SOB. 

All the world to nothing! That’s how this guy sees it, and that pretty much sums up the character that Will has created.

All the world to nothing!

Hah!


I wanted a pic that gave some sense of the whole, wide world. Not sure if this is it or not. But I thought that it's such a simple, and yet all-encompassing thought. Consider All the world; all of it, in its vastness. All of it. Then consider to nothing. No thought for any small part of it. 

All the world to nothing.
Hah!

That's a good one.
