here's the full quote:
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.Macbeth Act 5, scene 5, 19-28
meaning:
If life is like a bad play, it is thus an illusion, a mere shadow cast by a "brief candle." The candle is perhaps the soul, and the prospects for Macbeth's are grim.
why this Shakespeare thing suddenly pop out.? lols. it has been a long time seen i last extract quotes from here and there. after entering to a new environment, felt that i kind of lost myself with all the grumblings and complaining. whatever this Shakespeare said, you will still end up asking whats life... lols.
ps: you know, media is something influential. you will get what i mean soon.
