Well-known quotes from The Comedy of Errors in the order in which they appear in the play.

I to the world am like a drop of water
That in the ocean seeks another drop,
Who, falling there to find his fellow forth - 
Unseen, inquisitive - confounds himself.
(Antipholus of Syracuse, Act 1 Scene 2)

Every why hath a wherefore.
(Dromio of Syracuse,  Act 2 Scene 2)

Am I in earth, in heaven, or in hell?
Sleeping or waking, mad or well-advised?
Known unto these and to myself disguised?
I'll say as they say, and persever so,
And in this mist at all adventures go.
(Antipholus of Syracuse, Act 2 Scene 2)

Ill-faced, worse bodied, shapeless everywhere,
Vicious, ungentle, foolish, blunt, unkind,
Stigmatical in making, worse in mind.
