DONALBAIN: Where we are,
There's daggers in men's smiles: the nea'er in blood,
The nearer bloody.

'Monkeys.zip, aka The Monkey Project, is a live, crowdsourced experiment based on the Infinite Monkey Theorem. ...
It’s a thought experiment that’s been around for over a century, and is a fun way to ponder how an unstoppable force like Infinity collides with an immovable object like Impossible Odds.'

Sonnet 018 - XVIII
Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date:
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimmed,
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance, or nature's changing course untrimmed:
But thy eternal summer shall not fade,
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st,
Nor shall death brag thou wander'st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st,
So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.

@TimWardCam @benroyce @moira @RobotDiver @RegGuy Doing nothing is never a sign of principle. It’s either indecision, laziness or cowardice. In the end it really doesn’t matter why. My memory of #Shakespeare quotes is a bit rusty, but I think King Lear said nothing will come of nothing, and he was right.
Analysis of Hamlet's Soliloquy : Hamlet is indecisive because he becomes existentially stuck, "To glue, or not to glue/That is the question".
