Things Shakespeare did NOT say

I’ve seen a quote floating around tumblr that doesn’t sound very Shakespearian, yet is attributed to the Bard:

When I saw you I fell in love. And you smiled because you knew.

Well, this is NOT by Shakespeare.

“Although often attributed to Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare aficionados the world over can assure you that neither this line, nor anything like it, appears in that play. It doesn’t even sound like Shakespeare. It is by Arrigo Boito, who does at least have a Shakespeare connection in that he’s written a number of operas based on Shakespeare’s work including Othello and Falstaff.”

Sorry. I know the picture looks all deep and hipster, but it’s not real.
