From Collier’s Notes and emendations to the text of Shakespeare’s plays
“I am not careless, as I may have appeared to you, of the value of the text of Shakespeare ; but, poet, philosopher, and playwright as he was, your dealings with him are in the latter, you need not be afraid of eliminating the two nobler elements of his works ; omit what you will, that is impossible.” -From Notes on Shakespeare’s Plays
