Macbeth
Shakespeare styles life this way
- "If you can look into the seeds of time
And say which grains will grow and which will not,
Speak then to me, who neither beg nor fear
Your favours nor your hate. " Banquo [act: I, scene: 3]
- "... Come what come may,
Time and the hour runs through the roughest day. " Macbeth [act: I, scene: 3]
- ".... There's no art
To find the mind's construction in the face. " Duncan [act: I, scene: 4]
- "We are yet but young in deed. " Macbeth [act:I, scene:7]
- "..... The sleeping and the dead
Are but as pictures; 'tis the eye of childhood
That fears a painted devil. " Lady Macbeth [act: II, scene: 2]
- "...... By the clock 'tis day,
And yet dark night strangles the travelling lamp.
Is't night's predominance, or the day's shame,
That darkness does the face of earth entomb
When living light should kiss it?. " Ross [act: II, scene: 4]
- "False face must hide what the false heart doth know. " Macbeth [act: III, scene: 5]
- "... The grief that does not speak
Whispers the O'er-fraught heart and bids it break. " Malcolm [act: IV, scene: 3
- " .................. Macbeth
Is ripe for shaking, and the powers above
Put on their instruments. Receive what cheer you may;
The night is long that never finds the day. " Malcolm [act: IV, scene: 3]
- "A great perturbation in nature, to receive at once the
benifit of sleep and do the effects of watching. " Doctor [act: V, scene: 1
- " 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: V scene: 5]
- "What's done cannot be undone. " Lady Macbeth [act:V, scene:1]
