I am glad to see Shakespeare up if only for the fact that there's a lot of him to meander through! My favourite play is a tie between A Midsummer Night's Dream and 12th Night, with Romeo and Juliet in close second - although I find the latter two slightly more quotable. Perhaps long sentences are not the best for prompts meant for a thousand words at most, but I'll offer some up in any case. I tried to put this behind a cut to be polite. I really tried. But it wouldn't go, so I'm afraid... it's all out here. I'm deeply sorry.
HIPPOLYTA: Four days will quickly steep themselves in night/ Four nights will quickly dream away the time
BENVOLIO: I do but keep the peace: put up thy sword.
EGEUS: With duty and desire we follow you.
DUKE ORSINO: Give me now leave to leave thee.
VIOLA: Good madam, let me see your face.
HELENA: Never did mockers waste more idle breath.
JULIET: It is an honour that I dream not of.
BENVOLIO: Then she hath sworn that she will still live chaste?
DEMETRIUS: Do I entice you? do I speak you fair? / Or, rather, do I not in plainest truth?
OBERON: Hast thou the flower there? Welcome, wanderer.
VIOLA: With adorations, fertile tears / With groans that thunder love, with sighs of fire.
BENVOLIO: Be ruled by me, forget to think of her.
ANTONIO: If you will not murder me for my love, let me be your servant.
NURSE: Go, girl, seek happy nights to happy days.
ROMEO: Is love a tender thing? it is too rough / Too rude, too boisterous, and it pricks like thorn.
SEBASTIAN: I pray you, let us satisfy our eyes / With the memorials and the things of fame / That do renown this city.
Boy do I love Shakespeare

I had no judgment when to her I swore.
