🎭Men’s evil manners live in brass. Their virtues
We write in water.
—Griffith, Henry VIII, 4-2
He was talking to the Princess Dowager Katherine of her son Cardinal Wolsey, how he died. Griffith says people never forget the bad parts of a character, but the good part we forget after write it in tears at the funeral.
Actually, Shakespeare makes Mark Antony speak the exact opposite in Julius Caesar. Interesting.
