Shakespeare Meme
Taken from sharelle.
When you see this in a friend's journal post a quote from Shakespeare in yours:
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: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
-- Macbeth, Act 5, Scene 5
The reason I posted that part? I was forced to memorize it (and then recite it in class, along with everyone else) in 12th grade English. I still remember it. (That, and my locker combination.)
