HHamlet

Is it nobler to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, or to take arms against a sea of troubles, and by opposing end them? This is the question that plagues us when justice seems a distant dream.

MMacbeth

When ambition calls, justice must sometimes take a backseat. A man must do what he must to secure his rightful place in this world.
