About This Quote

This quote comes from Shakespeare's Hamlet. The play depicts the ghost of Hamlet's father as a spirit who visits his son, and he is the only one who can see him. The father gives his son some advice: "Do not think to lay that crown of thorns upon your brows; for it pinches; and those that love thee love not that pangs." This quote is about the temptation to lie and the difficulties that come with it.
