Day #17: Your favorite speech

Again...hard to narrow down. Love the Crispian Day speech to death, I really do, and practically anything Hamlet utters, but based on the mood I'm in today, I'm going with this, from Roselind in As You Like It, simply for it's beautiful cynicism.

No, faith, die by attorney. The poor world is
almost six thousand years old, and in all this time
there was not any man died in his own person,
videlicit, in a love-cause. Troilus had his brains
dashed out with a Grecian club; yet he did what he
could to die before, and he is one of the patterns
of love. Leander, he would have lived many a fair
year, though Hero had turned nun, if it had not been
for a hot midsummer night; for, good youth, he went
but forth to wash him in the Hellespont and being
taken with the cramp was drowned and the foolish
coroners of that age found it was 'Hero of Sestos.'
But these are all lies: men have died from time to
time and worms have eaten them, but not for love.

My Brilliant Friend kirathaune(TM) made some icons for me to try to cheer me up. *points to icon*

Some Doctor Who ones, and some Sherlock ones and they are, as are all her things, Pretty Darn Awesome. I thought my flist would like them, too, so they are here.

I got her and my other BFF into Sherlock yesterday - which was a bright spot in an otherwise bleak evening.
