- To be, or not to be:
- that is the question:
- Whether 'tis nobler in the mind
- to suffer the slings and arrows
- of outrageous fortune,
- or to take arms against
- a sea of troubles,
- and by opposing end them?
- To die: to sleep;
- No more; and, by a sleep
- to say we end the heartache
- and the thousand natural shocks
- that flesh is heir to,
- 'tis a consummation
- devoutly to be wish'd.
- To die, to sleep;
- to sleep: perchance to dream:
- ay, there's the rub;
- For in that sleep of death
- what dreams may come
- when we have shuffled off
- this mortal coil,
- must give us pause.
- Wm. Shakespeare: Hamlet
