About This Quote

Not all of our best memories are connected to people. Sometimes the best memories are created alone, in solitude. The words almost all of us use to describe these memories come from Shakespeare's "Hamlet". For example, the word ham-like means "like Hamlet" and -like means "something that is like." We all hear these words today because they are so simple and short. Other than the fact that his words inspired the word ham-like, there is little else about him that we know.
