About This Quote

This is an excerpt from Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream." It's a dialogue between two lovers, who are discussing the possibility of their love not being reciprocated. The speaker, Egeus, says that he is not mad for dreaming about his daughter falling in love with the young man, but he also admits that he does not know what is real or what is not. He recognizes that it's possible his daughter may be in love with another man, but he refuses to give up hope because "Yet mad I am not...and very surely do I not dream."
