(SHAKESPEARE AS PHILOSOPHER OF HISTORY)
Windy attorneys to their clients' woes, Airy succeeders of intestate joys, Poor breathing orators of miseries, Let them have scope, though what they will impart Help nothing else, yet do they ease the heart.
Queen Elizabeth ( Richard III, Act IV, Scene IV)
“Had [Shakespeare] put into the mouths of his heroes only prophecies that were later confirmed, he would have made a case for the total predictability of history. The false prophets are there for a purpose; they testify to the unpredictability of the historical future.”

“Our model of evil ... is Satan, not because he does the wrong things, but because he induces others to do the wrong things by persuading them that evil is right.”

“Every gesture of retribution carries in it the risk of escalation. It is not an insignificant possibility that the morally right may result in the morally wrong.”
