You left out “told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing”. This is definitely told by an idiot.

That is a wonderful line from Shakespeare's play MacBeth.

It is a short, easy play, with no sex. Passionate, violent, freaky witches, everything cool.

Here is that particular passage:

"To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,

Creeps in this petty pace from day to day

To the last syllable of recorded time,

And all our yesterdays have lighted fools

The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!

Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player

That struts and frets his hour upon the stage

And then is heard no more: it is a tale

Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,

Signifying nothing."
