"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 [bad word] and frets his hour upon the stage / And then is heard no more. It is a tale / Told by and idiot, full of sound and fury, / Signifying nothing."  (William Shakespeare, MacBeth, V:5)
