"I loved Ophelia. Forty thousand brothers/Could not with all their quantity of love/Make up my sum. What wilt thou do for her?...
'Swounds, show me what hou'lt do./Wooât weep? Wooât fight? Wooât fast? Wooât tear thyself?/Wooât drink up eisel, eat a crocodile?/Iâll do ât. Dost thou come here to whine,/To outface me with leaping in her grave?/Be buried quick with her?âand so will I./And if thou prate of mountains let them throw/Millions of acres on us, till our ground,/Singeing his pate against the burning zone,/Make Ossa like a wart! Nay, an thou'lt mouth,/Iâll rant as well as thou"

"Iâm sure that I will always be
A lonely number like root three
The three is all thatâs good and right,
Why must my three keep out of sight
Beneath the vicious square root sign,
I wish instead I were a nine
For nine could thwart this evil trick,
with just some quick arithmetic
I know Iâll never see the sun, as 1.7321
Such is my reality, a sad irrationality
When hark! What is this I see,
Another square root of a three
As quietly co-waltzing by,
Together now we multiply
To form a number we prefer,
Rejoicing as an integer
We break free from our mortal bonds
With the wave of magic wands
Our square root signs become unglued
Your love for me has been renewed" (Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay)
"So, if you want to really hurt me, talk badly about my language. Ethnic identity is twin skin to linguistic identity-I am my language. Until I can take pride in my language, I cannot take pride in myself. Until I can accept as legitimate Chicano Texas Spanish, Tex-Mex and all the other languages I speak, I cannot accept the legitimacy of myself. Until I am free to write bilingually and to switch codes without having always to translate, while I still have to speak English or Spanish when I would rather speak Spanglish, and as long as I have to accommodate the English speakers rather than having them accommodate me, my tongue will be illegitimate.
I will no longer be made to feel ashamed of existing. I will have my voice: Indian, Spanish, white. I will have my serpent's tongue-my woman's voice, my sexual voice, my poet's voice. I will overcome the tradition of silence." ("How to Tame a Wild Tongue" by Anzaldua)
"I'm not afraid to die, I'm afraid I haven't been alive enough. It should be written on every schoolroom blackboard: life is a playground or nothing." (Mr. Nobody)".
