"If you see this on your friends list, quote some Shakespeare"
From King John, Act I: Robert Faulconbridge, just acclaimed the illegitimate son of Richard the Lionheart and renamed "Richard", speaking to Queen Elinor, the Lionheart's mother;
ELINOR
I am thy grandam, Richard. Call me so.
BASTARD
Madam, by chance but not by truth; what though?
Something about, a little from the right,
In at the window, or else o'er the hatch:
Who dares not stir by day must walk by night,
And have is have, however men do catch:
Near or far off, well won is still well shot,
And I am I, howe'er I was begot.
