QUOTES FROM THE BARD
PLAY: Romeo and Juliet
ACT/SCENE: 5.1
SPEAKER: Romeo
CONTEXT:
Art thou so bare and full of wretchedness,
And fear’st to die? Famine is in thy cheeks.
Need and oppression starveth in thine eyes.
Contempt and beggary hangs upon thy back.
The world is not thy friend nor the world’s law.
The world affords no law to make thee rich.
Then be not poor, but break it, and take this. DUTCH: De wereld noch haar wetten zijn uw vriend;
De wereld heeft geen wet, die u verrijkt;
Wees dan niet arm, neem dit, en breek de wet.
MORE: CITED IN EU LAW: Blanco Perez & Chao Gomez (Freedom of establishment) [2009] EUECJ C-570/07_O (30 September 2009) Opinion of A-G Poiares Madura delivered on 30 September 2009 (1) Joined Cases C-570/07 and C-571/07 José Manuel Blanco Pérez and María del Pilar Chao Gómez Topics: law/legal, poverty and wealth, cited in law
