I kissed thee ere I killed thee. No way but this,
Killing myself, to die upon a kiss.

and soar with them above a common bound.
William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet

William Shakespeare, As You Like It

---William Shakespeare, Hamlet

May read strange matters. To beguile the time,
Look like the time; bear welcome in your eye,
Your hand, your tongue: look like the innocent flower,
But be the serpent under't.
William Shakespeare, Macbeth

---William Butler Yeats
Be not inhospitable to strangers, lest they be angels in disguise.
