nothing is either good or bad, but thinking makes it so.
~
to be, or not to be: that is the question:
whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
or to take arms against a sea of trouble,
and by opposing end them? to die: to sleep;
no more; and, by a sleep to say we end
the heartache and the thousand natural shocks
that flesh is heir to, 'tis a consummation
devoutly to be wished. to die, to sleep;
to sleep: perchance to dream: ay, there's no rub;
for in that sleep of death what dreams may come
when we have shuffled off this mortal coil,
must give us pause.
- william shakespeare, hamlet, act III, scene i
