[QUOTE="Old Fezziwig, post: 379465, member: 59"] The "sound and fury" bit's from [b]Macbeth[/b], V.v.26-28, if you're curious (nice quote, too!). from [b]Hamlet[/b] (some personal favorites, which I might have used, but may not make sense for you, but just for kicks...) "There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, Than are dreamt of in your philosophy." (II.i166-67) "There is special providence in the fall of a sparrow. If it be [now], 'tis not to come; if it be not to come, it will be now; if it be not now, yet it [will] come — the readiness is all. Since no man, of aught he leaves, knows what is't to leave betimes, let be." (V.ii.219-24) In fact, I used a Woody Allen quote for mine: "It's not that I'm afraid of death, I just don't want to be there when it happens." and, also from Mr. Allen, "Some people look to achieve immortality through childbirth, I prefer to achieve immortality by not dying." (this might be a little off as I'm recalling it from memory...) F. Scott Fitzgerald, [b]This Side of Paradise[/b] "I know myself, that is all —" (Yes, that's it with the dash...if you know where to find it in the book, it'll make more sense.) Hmm. There are others. I can't think of a lot right now off the top of my head. Bartlett's Familiar Quotations is a great place to look (I'm assuming it's online somewhere, but your library is sure to have a copy if your family or someone you know doesn't), as long as you know what you're looking for when you open it up. :) Anyhow, have fun with it, Darklance. :) Best, tKL [/QUOTE]
