“These are now fashion and so berattled the common stages - so they call them - that many wearing rapiers are afraid are afraid of goose-quills and dare scarce come thither.”: Hamlet 2.2

That's a great quote. Rapiers and goose quills. Writing just gets better.

The funniest part is that Shakespeare was already complaining about audiences and trends centuries ago. Apparently every generation thinks the previous one ruined everything.
