Mark me." HAMLET: "I will." GHOST: "My hour is almost come, when I to sulph’uous and tormenting flames must render up myself." (...) I am thy father’s spirit, doom’d for a certain term to walk the night and for the day confin’d to waste in fires, till the foul crimes done in my days of nature are burnt and purg’d away.

Relax, it only hurts a little,” she murmured in Edwin’s ear as she stroked his head and shoulders from behind. “What you feel later more than makes up for it.”“But will I…will I have to drink blood after I am…initiated?” “Don’t worry, Edwin. I promise it will be many years before either you or Ophelia will need to seek your sustenance in such a manner.” Hamlet kissed his cheek. “Are you ready?” Edwin nodded. Closing his eyes, he turned his head slightly to give Hamlet easier access. He felt a momentary pinch and then… Ecstasy! Overwhelming warmth flooded his veins as colors exploded in his mind and a feeling of euphoria lifted him from the bed to the skies. He was flying free from the confines of his body. He soared above the clouds…heading into the stars. “Wonderful, isn’t it?” Ophelia giggled and clapped her hands. “I wish I could experience it more often, but Hamlet says it’s even better once you’re on the receiving end.” He opened his eyes slowly. Still light-headed, Edwin observed the gaze of mutual pleasure in Hamlet’s dark eyes. His sensual lips glistened with tint of red. Instead of horror or aversion, Edwin felt complete peace and contentment. “Thank you.” Without hesitation Edwin pulled Hamlet's lips to his and kissed him.

Hamlet. What have you, my good friends, deserved at the hands of Fortune that she sends you to prison hither? Guildenstern. Prison, my lord? Hamlet. Denmark’s a prison. Rosencrantz. Then is the world one. Hamlet. A goodly one, in which there are many confines, wards, and dungeons, Denmark being one o’ th’ worst. Rosencrantz. We think not so, my lord. Hamlet. Why, then ’tis none to you, for there is nothing either good or bad but thinking makes it so. To me it is a prison. Rosencrantz. Why then your ambition makes it one. ’Tis too narrow for your mind. Hamlet. O God, I could be bounded in a nutshell and count myself a king of infinite space, were it not that I have bad dreams. Guildenstern. Which dreams indeed are ambition, for the very substance of the ambitious is merely the shadow of a dream. Hamlet. A dream itself is but a shadow. Rosencrantz. Truly, and I hold ambition of so airy and light a quality that it is but a shadow’s shadow. Hamlet. Then are our beggars bodies, and our monarchs and outstretched heroes the beggars’ shadows.
William Shakespeare (Hamlet)
Ser ou não ser – eis a questão. Será mais nobre sofrer na alma Pedradas e flechadas do destino feroz Ou pegar em armas contra o mar de angústias – E, combatendo-o, dar-lhe fim? Morrer; dormir; Só isso. E com o sono – dizem – extinguir Dores do coração e as mil mazelas naturais A que a carne é sujeita; eis uma consumação Ardentemente desejável. Morrer – dormir – Dormir! Talvez sonhar. Aí está o obstáculo! Os sonhos que hão de vir no sono da morte Quando tivermos escapado ao tumulto vital Nos obrigam a hesitar: e é essa reflexão Que dá à desventura uma vida tão longa. Pois quem suportaria o açoite e os insultos do mundo, A afronta do opressor, o desdém do orgulhoso, As pontadas do amor humilhado, as delongas da lei, A prepotência do mando, e o achincalhe Que o mérito paciente recebe dos inúteis, Podendo, ele próprio, encontrar seu repouso Com um simples punhal? Quem agüentaria fardos, Gemendo e suando numa vida servil, Senão porque o terror de alguma coisa após a morte – O país não de scoberto, de cujos confins Jamais voltou nenhum viajante – nos confunde a vontade, Nos faz preferir e suportar os males que já temos, A fugirmos pra outros que desconhecemos? E assim a reflexão faz todos nós covardes. E assim o matiz natural da decisão Se transforma no doentio pálido do pensamento. E empreitadas de vigor e coragem, Refletidas demais, saem de seu caminho, Perdem o nome de ação.
