Webmaster! Detail for Shakespeare quote
posted 2001 by Nigel from New Zealand
Salutations, Webmaster! [I'd have sent this straight to the webmaster but my Outlook Express is too stuffed to work. It says it can't delete anything so it doesn't send anything! :-( ] In the 'Life & Death' section there's a quote from Shakespeare that doesn't say where it was from. "Life is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury... signifying nothing" is from Macbeth, spoken by Macbeth. (I think he said it after Lady Macbeth commited suicide but I'm not sure. Maybe someone else would like to show her/himself to be more erudite than I. I don't mind this being a team effort.) :-) Yours in the work for a better world Nigel from New Zealand

i seem to be finding misquotes tonight. i remember (someone will no doubt tell me if i have it wrong) "Out, out, brief candle. Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player who frets and struts his hour upon the stage. It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,..." most of that punctuation is wrong, i believe, but never mind that. i think the text is right, but i could have patched together quotes from different pages of the play. wouldn't surprise me.

I'm looking for a Shakespearean aphorism that details the folly of delay in incorporation of technology.
