Quote by William Shakespeare
Thou whoreson zed! Thou unnecessary letter! My lord, if you will give me leave, I will tread this unbolted villain into mortar, and daub the wall of a jakes with him. *all cheer for Shakespearean insults*
Summary
This quote comes from William Shakespeare's play King Lear, specifically from Act 2, Scene 2. Here, the character known as the Fool insults the letter "zed," also known as the letter "Z" in the modern alphabet. The Fool ridicules its existence, comparing it to an unnecessary and superfluous entity. He proposes the idea of crushing this insignificant letter into a powder-like substance, then applying it to the walls of a public lavatory, implying that its use and presence are as futile and irrelevant as such an act. The quote showcases the Fool's ability to cleverly mock the perceived absurdities or trivialities of life.
