I shall speak of love...and of hate. It is truly a marvel, but I tell you, hatred and love may live cramped together, crouching in the same heart.

About This Quote

The playwright William Shakespeare was a master at putting two things together that don’t seem to go together. I use this quote to show how you can have love and hate in the same place, the same heart. This quote is bold and different from what you might expect, but it shows a different side of love and how it can be a powerful thing.
