About William Shakespeare
William Shakespeare (1564–1616) was an English playwright, poet, and actor, widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world's greatest dramatist. He wrote approximately 39 plays, 154 sonnets, and several longer poems over his prolific career. His works have been translated into every major language and are performed more often than those of any other playwright.
Shakespeare believed that the full spectrum of human experience — love, ambition, grief, joy, and folly — deserves unflinching examination, and that self-knowledge is the foundation of a well-lived life. His works consistently explore the consequences of unchecked ego, the power of empathy, and the complexity of the human condition.
"To thine own self be true, and it must follow, as the night the day, thou canst not then be false to any man."
"We know what we are, but know not what we may be."
"All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players; they have their exits and their entrances, and one man in his time plays many parts."
