Quotes - I kept always two books in my pocket
“To-morrow,
and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
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. It is a tale
Told
by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying
nothing.”
