About This Quote

“It’s freezing up here. What did you use to keep warm?” This is a line from Shakespeare’s play “All’s Well That Ends Well.” The speaker of this line is the duke of Normandy, who is complaining about the cold weather. He says, “What did you use to keep warm? Indignation. Best fuel I know. Never burns out.” Indignation, he says, is the best tool he has found for keeping warm during these harsh winter months.
