To be or not to be . . .
To be or not to be
That is the question
Whether 'tis nobler to suffer the slings
and arrows of outrageous fortune
Or take arms against a sea of troubles
And by so doing (defeat them)
To die to sleep
And by that sleep to say we end the horrors
and the thousand shocks that man is heir to
To die to sleep
To sleep perchance to dream
Aye there's the rub
For in that sleep of death
What dreams may come
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil
A consummation devoutely to be wished
'tis that which makes cowards of all men.
--William Shakespeare (Hamlet)
