: ...and if he shall die, may the angels cut him out of the stars and everyone will fall in love with the night
: I heard this recently, I do not know if I am recalling it correctly. I believe it is something Shakespeare wrote, but I am not sure. I would appreciate if someone would advise the correct phrase and source.

Romeo and Juliet by Shakespeare:

When he shall die
Take him and cut him out in little stars,
And he will make the face of heaven so fine
That all the world will be in love with night,
And pay no worship to the garish sun.

I've said it before and I say it again, that ol' boy could write.
