Macbeth: Life's but a walking shadow

Life's But A Walking Shadow
 From Shakespeare's Macbeth, Act V, Scene V
Speech by Macbeth

Animation, research & design by Rick Doble.

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.

 We 

  only  

    have    

     1     

     Earth     

 Don't 

   throw   

     it     

       away       

No society has ever yet been able to handle the temptations of technology...
We have to learn to cherish this Earth and cherish it as something that's fragile, that's only one, it's all we have. We have to use our scientific knowledge to correct the dangers that have come from science and technology.
Margaret Mead
