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.
— William Shakespeare
Morgen, und morgen, und morgen, schleicht sich dieser geringfügige Schritt von täglichem ein, zur letzten Silbe der aufgezeichneter Zeit; und unser ganzes Gestern hat Dummköpfe die Weise zum staubigen Tod beleuchtet. Heraus, heraus, kurze Kerze! Lebens aber ein gehender Schatten, ein armer Spieler, der seine Stunde nach dem Stadium struts und ärgert, und dann wird no more gehört; es ist eine Geschichte, die von einem Idioten erklärt wird, voll vom Ton und von der Wut, Bedeuten nichts.
— William Shakespeare, source of quote
