"(...) Beshrew your eyes,
They have o'erlook'd me and divided me;
One half of me is yours, the other half yours,
Mine own, I would say; but if mine, then yours,
And so all yours. O, these naughty times
Put bars between the owners and their rights!
And so, though yours, not yours."

(William Shakespeare in "The Merchant of Venice" - excerto de uma fala de Portia, III Acto, Cena II)
