Jazz, a dear old Auntie of mine, many years ago, confessed to me that she, "... didn't like Shakespeare so very much, my dear - it is so full of quotations."

It has been said - rightly or wrongly, I know not - that over 75% of quotations used in the English language are from either the bible or Shakespeare.

(Mind you, it is a well known fact that 87.2% of all statistics quoted in casual conversation are made up on the spot )
