I have never been a big fan of William Shakespeare. I enjoy Taming of the Shrew and Hamlet and that's about where it ends. I think it's more of how it's written and the words moreso then the plays or sonnets themselves. I sure seem to enjoy them when they are turned into modern stories based on the situations from his famous plays. That being said, my current favorite movie is Letters to Juliet. It's a sweet story about a young girl that wrote a letter to Juliet asking what she should do about her true love. 50 years later her letter is found and responded to by Juliet's secretaries. The lady then goes in search of her true love because if it was true 50 years ago, why wouldn't it still be? It's a movie about true love, destiny, and what's going to be will be. All 3 are things that I believe in, no matter the pain I go through, the amount of patience I have to have, or any other thing that may try to trip me up.
One of my favorite quotes from the movie is actually a quote from Hamlet. It's from a letter that Hamlet wrote to Ophelia and Polonius read to the King & Queen.
Doubt that the stars are fire;
Doubt that the sun doth move;
Doubt truth to be a liar;
But never doubt that I love.
There is so much truth to this. You can doubt things you know as concrete fact, but don't doubt love... It exists, it's real, it's unstoppable, it'll carry you through anything, it's unconditional, it's not to be taken lightly, it's not to be trampled, it's not to be ignored, it's not to be forgotten, and nothing else is more powerful than love. Whether it's a love shared between friends, significant others, or family, it is a strong bond and can't be severed.
