Today’s Totally Random
Lines
And strange
it is
That nature must compel us to lament
Our most persisted deeds.
Agrippa
Antony and Cleopatra Act V, Scene i, Line 28
In today’s context Agrippa is talking about the fact that they are all sad to hear that Antony has killed himself, even though he is the enemy and they are in Egypt to find Antony and defeat him.
But, as with much of Will’s great lines, we can use this line
to apply to a myriad of things in our own lives. I guess you can use this
phrase to talk about bad habits; things you might do constantly even though you
wish you didn’t do them. Actually, that would be a perfect use of it.
“I wish I weren’t
such a push over. Every time someone asks me for something I say yes.”
“And strange it
is that nature must compel us to lament our most persisted deeds.”
“Huh?”
Yeah, that
would probably be the response in most cases: huh?
