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 troubles
And by opposing end them....
Who would fardels bear,
To grunt and sweat under a weary life,
But that the dread of something after death,
The undiscovere'd country, from whose bourn
No traveller returns, puzzles the will,
And makes us rather bear those ills we have
Than fly to others that we know not of?

I first read this in 7th grade, I think. If only I would have known how literally these words would become applicable to my life - an existence full of empty ambition and deep regret. Sigh. I have everything - just need to move forward.
