(Caesar, talking to his wife): “It seems to me most strange that men should fear, seeing that death, a necessary end, will come when it will come.”

(It’s part of an awesome speech about how living as a coward trying to avoid death is a much more pitiful existence than just, y’know, living your life as best you see fit)

anyway

Shakes ftw
