quote | on sleep:

January 28, 2009

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 the 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 3, scene 1, l. 62-70
