The most thought-provoking quotation from Shakespeare’s Macbeth could arguably be “Tomorrow‚ and tomorrow‚ and tomorrow creeps in this petty pace from day to day to the last syllable of recorded time‚ and all our yesterdays have lighted fools the way to dusty death. Out‚ out‚ brief candle! Life’s but a walking shadow‚ a poor player‚ that struts and frets his hour upon the stage and then is heard no more.
