"Revisiting my college books again! Marlowe seemed a bit more accessible than Shakespeare, and it's a pity he died before he found his full potential."
"Marlowe is great, he's a lot of fun; but how anyone could imagine that he was the person who wrote Shakespeare's plays (a popular theory for a while) is beyond belief. Marlowe just isn't in the same league as Shakespeare. It's like comparing Donovan and Bob Dylan. Donovan's nice, but he ain't Bob Dylan; and Marlowe ain't Shakespeare."
