To be or not to be, that is the question.
What’s past is prologue. The lady doth protest too much, methinks. This above all: to thine own self be true. To be, or not to be, that is the question. The time is out of joint. A little more than kin, and less than kind. The play's the thing. The rest is silence. “ I give you the past.” “ The past is never dead. It's not even past.” “ You can't go home again.” Get thee to a nunnery! I could be bounded in a nutshell and count myself a king of infinite space. I am but mad north-north-west. I am more an antique Roman than a Dane. I loved you not. In my mind's eye. Neither a borrower nor a lender be. O, what a rogue and peasant slave am I! Something is rotten in the state of Denmark. There is a willow growing o'er a brook. There’s a divinity that shapes our ends. Though this be madness, yet there is method in't. To die: to sleep; No more. What a piece of work is a man! What a rogue and peasant slave am I! What’s done is done. The serpent that did sting thy father’s life now wears his crown. There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy. “ The world is a place of suffering.” “ The only thing that matters is the future.” |
