About This Quote
This is a quote from William Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream". It is one of the most famous lines in the play. Helena says this to Demetrius, after he claims that he serves no god. He then goes on to say that he only believes in the gods that will grant him good fortune.
Helena denies this, saying she believes in gods who give good fortune to all. The two begin to argue over this, and Helena eventually declares that she believes in no god at all.
