Edward De Vere Quotes

I have never thought that the man of Stratford-on-Avon wrote the plays of Shakespeare.

Lewis F. Powell Jr.

I no longer believe that William Shakespeare the actor from Stratford was the author of the works that have been ascribed to him.

I cannot marry the facts of William Shakespeare to his verse: Other men had led lives in some sort of keeping with their thought, but this man is in wide contrast.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

The life of Shakespeare is a fine mystery and I tremble every day lest something turn up.

Charles Dickens
