He's poor in no one fault.

It is claimed by the ignorant and uninformed that there is no room in today's educated head for Shakespeare. He is archaic and difficult to understand. He talks of old and ridiculous things. He is no longer relevant.

I profoundly disagree. I think people just fail to match his words to our experiences. He speaks to us and our issues as I hope to make clear in a series of quotations and their contemporary relevance.
From Coriolanus by William Shakespeare
He's poor in no one fault, but stored with all. Especially in pride. And topping all others is boasting.
On public intellectuals.
