Quotation from The Two Gentlemen of Verona by William Shakespeare
“To die is to be banished from myself”
The Two Gentlemen of Verona, Act 3, Scene 1 (Project Gutenberg #1509 (modern spelling))
Valentine, just banished, says that exile from Silvia is exile from his own self; the speech raises the question of whether lovers who make each other their whole being can remain good friends.
