    William Shakespeare
    “To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,

    The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!

    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.”
    William Shakespeare, Macbeth
