Quote by William Shakespeare

Oh why rebuke you him that loves you so? / Lay breath so bitter on your bitter foe.

Oh why rebuke you him that loves you so? / Lay breath so bit

Summary

This quote is an inquiry about why someone would criticize another person who loves them dearly. It suggests that instead of directing harsh hostility towards their bitter enemy, they should reserve their bitterness for themselves. In other words, it questions why one would reject kindness and affection from one who cares deeply for them, and advises that instead of focusing on resentment towards others, they should reflect on their own bitterness.

War has been the most convenient pseudo-solution for the problems of twentieth-century capitalism. It provides the incentives to modernization and technological revolution which the market and the pursuit of profit do only fitfully and by accident, it makes the unthinkable (such as votes for women and the abolition of unemployment) not merely thinkable but practicable. What is equally important, it can re-create communities of men and give a temporary sense to their lives by uniting them against foreigners and outsiders. This is an achievement beyond the power of the private enterprise economy when left to itself.
