What shakespeare quote to tattoo on me! HELP!?

ive loved shakespeare for a long time and i really want a tattoo, maybe on my upper side back, or ribs.. some options, please help :)

-FAIR IS FOUL AND FOUL IS FAIR
quote from macbeth, meaning nothing is what it seems, something you think is ugly may be beutiful, or other way around

-YOUNG HEARTS RUN FREE
not really shakepseare but in the romeo and juliet movie, self explanatory.. haha

-HE JESTS AT SCARS THAT NEVER FELT A WOUND
in romeo and juliet, when mercutio makes fun of romeo for being obsessively in love, he simple realizes that mercutio is making fun of him because hes never felt love. kind of a walk in someons shoes thing.

-THERES NO ART TO FIND THE MINDS CONSTRUCTION IN THE FACE
from macbeth, meaning you never know what a person is like on the inside, their face never tells

thank you sooo much!

The Beatles and Shakespeare tattoo ideas? Quotes that could somehow go together?

The Tempest:

Prospero:
Our revels now are ended. These our actors,
As I foretold you, were all spirits, and
Are melted into air, into thin air:
And like the baseless fabric of this vision,
The cloud-capp'd tow'rs, the gorgeous palaces,
The solemn temples, the great globe itself,
Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve,
And, like this insubstantial pageant faded,
Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff
As dreams are made on; and our little life
Is rounded with a sleep.

Or

As you like it:

Jaques:
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,
His acts being seven ages.

Which Shakespeare quote is best for a tattoo?

I am getting a tattoo of a quote by Shakespeare and have a few picked out. Which one do you like best? (I know it depends on which suits me and my life best, but I just want to know which one you like best personally)

* Look like the innocent flower but be the serpent under it.
* Some rise by sin, and some by virtue fall.
* There was a star danced, and under that was I born.
* Hell is empty and all the devils are here.
* Beauty is bought by judgement of the eye.

Help with deciding a tattoo quote?

Both technically have great meaning to them, so it's nice that that's what you're choosing from. However, I personally know two people who have "not all those who wander are lost." So my question is, are you doing that to be deep, or because it's popular right now? Getting that quote I mean? Or are you getting it because you've actually read the book and have felt a deep connection with that quote? I have heard "Time heals what reason cannot" before, but it's a less popular tattoo probably. So based on that, I would personally say 2, unless you have a really good reason for number one, which I think is overdone.

And, uh, if anyone has any common sense, you shouldn't have to explain the meaning of either. They're pretty self-explanatory. I don't see what you wouldn't get by reading them. I mean, they won't get your personal reason for getting the tattoo just by reading it, but they'll get the meaning of it just by reading it...

Quotes for tattoos help?

All the world is a stage.
I go, and it is done; the bell invites me.
This was the most unkindest cut of all.
A dish fit for the gods.
A pound of flesh.
Chance may crown me.
In my heart of hearts.
Life's fitful fever.
On the windy side.
Put money in thy purse.
The glass of fashion.
The woman's part.
Unsex me here.
Fair play.
Sweets to the sweet.
To thine own self be true.
What's done is done.
Too much of a good thing.

Did my heart love till now? Forswear it sight, for I ne'er saw truebeauty ‘til this night,A cliche(add an accent there) dialogue from Romeo and Juliet but still swoon-worthy with the correct effects. ButI love Sonnet 18 too.Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? Thou art more lovely and more temperate: (England has too short summers and a brutal winter, I guessed when I read this.)Sonnet 55(though, not many lovers quote this one :p)“Not Marble nor the guilded monumentsof Princes will outlive this powerful rhymebut you shall shine in more bright in these contentsthan unswept stone besmear’d with sluttish time. (there might be some errors since I read this last about two years ago.)Overall, these are just the few I remember from what I’ve read. Mark Antony’s speech was kind of great too and many of the soliloquies(check the spelling of this word, please.) are really profound. And I’m not talking about just romance genre, even though fifteen minutes before 1 a.m, that’s all the brain cells left in my head can think about.Overall, Shakespeare was too great an artist to have his best quotes (as you specified) be summarised in such a short prose, even if I only refer to the romantic ones. Even behind all the glamour and often “dimension-lacking”( As some would say) characters, there existed a thinker who saw the flaws in our ways. Undoubtedly, there exist some simpler phrases which go deeper. But as I said…. I’m just burning energy here!
