He was gorg when he was younger.

Tom Stoppard, an English playwright and screenwriter.
One of his most famous screenplays was "Shakespeare in Love" which appeal I couldn't quite get. I'm not saying it's a bad movie, but I don't get why would someone want to turn Shakespeare's life into such fluff? It obviously had nothing to do with reality of how he wrote Romeo and Juliet—the movie led us to believe he based it on a romantic adventure in his life instead of a famous story of his time that everyone knew about.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
