...maybe a little overrated. His attitude about the Indigenous and their land was terrible.

I'm not a big fellow for quoting others... I prefer my own statements rather than relying on others. It was unusual for me to use a tagline written by my son, "So strange to see the singularity approaching while the entire planet is rapidly turning into a hellscape. -John Coates", but it was so insightful that I felt compelled to use it. My previous tagline was, "Rather than think climate change and the corona virus as science, think of it as the wrath of God. Feel any better?" Same sense of foreboding.

If memory serves, Act 1, Scene 1, a short scene...
"When shall we three meet again,
...
there to meet with MacBeth."
very ominous...

My tagline on engineering sites that was part of an eMail from my son:
"So strange to see the singularity approaching while the entire planet is rapidly turning into a hellscape. -John Coates"
and my eMail signature for business:

and from Little Big Man (I recalled it, but had to look it up):
Younger Bear:
I have a wife. And four horses.
Jack Crabb:
I have a horse... and four wives.

...or from 'Through the Looking Glass', one of my fovourite parts of Carrol's logic...
“Who did you pass on the road?" the King went on, holding out his hand to the Messenger for some more hay.
"Nobody," said the Messenger.
"Quite right," said the King; "this young lady saw him too. So of course Nobody walks slower than you."
"I do my best," the Messenger said in a sullen tone. "I'm sure nobody walks much faster than I do!"
"He can't do that," said the King, "or else he'd have been here first.”

When I first started living in Toronto, I used to go for long walks in the evening with the intent, "If you have no intended destination, you cannot get lost."

The part that follows '2B OR NOT 2B' is also pretty good. "...whether tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, Or to take arms against a sea of troubles..."
