“We probably read Shakespeare in the first place for his stories, afterward for his characters … To become intimate with Shakespeare in this way is a great enrichment of mind and instruction of conscience. Then, by degrees, as we go on reading this world-teacher, lines of insight and beauty take possession of us, and unconsciously mold our judgments of men and things and of the great issues of life.” ~Charlotte Mason
