A great perturbation in nature, to receive at once the benefit of sleep and do the effects of watching! ~ William Shakespeare
Macbeth Motif quotes by William Shakespeare
There's husbandry in heaven; Their candles are all out. ~ William Shakespeare
Macbeth Motif quotes by William Shakespeare
Yet who would have thought the old man to have had so much blood in him? - Lady Macbeth ~ William Shakespeare
Macbeth Motif quotes by William Shakespeare
I know so little, she tells herself again, searching her mother's face. In the end, we know so little. ~ Emma Richler
Macbeth Motif quotes by Emma Richler
My war brought me many things; let yours bring you as much. Life is not to be told, call it as loud as you like, it will not tell itself. No one will be much or little except in someone else's mind, so be careful of the minds you get into, and remember Lady Macbeth, who had her mind in her hand. We can't all be as safe as that. ~ Djuna Barnes
Macbeth Motif quotes by Djuna Barnes
Macbeth to Witches: What are these So wither'd and so wild in their attire, That look not like th' inhabitants o' th' earth, And yet are on 't? ~ William Shakespeare
Macbeth Motif quotes by William Shakespeare
Historically, Macbeth is one of the greatest kings Scotland ever had. He was on the throne for 19 years, and he simply has this dreadful reputation because Shakespeare manipulated history for the benefit of James I, who was paying him to write the play to blacken Macbeth's name. ~ David Hewson
Macbeth Motif quotes by David Hewson
The essence of Macbeth is seeing a great and intelligent man succumb to the forces of darkness. What gives the tragedy ~ William Shakespeare
Macbeth Motif quotes by William Shakespeare
Sleep lingers all our lifetime about our eyes, as night hovers all day in the boughs of the fir tree. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Macbeth Motif quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
I felt like I was hobbling, like one oof the old crones from Act I of Macbeth - God knows my hair felt scraggy enough that I must have looked the part. ~ P.C. Cast
Macbeth Motif quotes by P.C. Cast
If chance will have me king, why, chance may crown me. ~ William Shakespeare
Macbeth Motif quotes by William Shakespeare
I have bought golden opinions from all sorts of people. ~ William Shakespeare
Macbeth Motif quotes by William Shakespeare
But wherefore could not I pronounce 'Amen'? I had most need of blessing, and 'Amen' Stuck in my throat. ~ William Shakespeare
Macbeth Motif quotes by William Shakespeare
The science-fictional motif of lethal, infectious information - bad memes - is a fascinating one, with an extended history. One of the earliest instances is Robert W. Chambers's 'The King in Yellow' from 1895. Chambers's conceit is a malevolent play: read beyond Act II, and you go mad. ~ Paul Di Filippo
Macbeth Motif quotes by Paul Di Filippo
Samuel Spade's jaw was long and bony, his chin a jutting v under the more flexible v of his mouth. His nostrils curved back to make another, smaller, v. His yellow-grey eyes were horizontal. The v motif was picked up again by thickish brows rising outward from twin creases above a hooked nose, and his pale brown hair grew down - from high flat temples - in a point on his forehead. He looked rather pleasantly like a blond satan. ~ Dashiell Hammett
Macbeth Motif quotes by Dashiell Hammett
Now the motif was clear. This trip was their first and last taste of freedom, an interlude between two regimentations: the campus and the barracks. The elemental simplicities of wilderness travel were thrills not only because of their novelty, but because they represented complete freedom to make mistakes. The wilderness gave them their first taste of those rewards and penalties for wise and foolish acts which every woodsman faces daily, but against which civilization has built a thousand buffers. These boys were 'on their own' in this particular sense. ~ Aldo Leopold
Macbeth Motif quotes by Aldo Leopold
What sad, short lives humans live! Each life a short pamphlet written by an idiot! Tut-tut, and all that. ~ Stephen King
Macbeth Motif quotes by Stephen King
You have always had individual directors who begin in the advertising or commercial world, but they are probably exceptions rather than the traditional pattern. ~ Ann Macbeth
Macbeth Motif quotes by Ann Macbeth
I will have thee, as our rarer monsters are, painted upon a pole,and underwrit: Here you may see the tyrant, Macbeth ~ William Shakespeare
Macbeth Motif quotes by William Shakespeare
Not all suicides are suicides, some are murders! ~ Md. Ziaul Haque
Macbeth Motif quotes by Md. Ziaul Haque
I have always known that there were spellbinding evil parts for women. For one thing, I was taken at an early age to see Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Never mind the Protestant work ethic of the dwarfs. Never mind the tedious housework-is-virtuous motif. Never mind the fact that Snow White is a vampire
anyone who lies in a glass coffin without decaying and then comes to life again must be. The truth is that I was paralysed by the scene in which the evil queen drinks the magic potion and changes her shape. What power, what untold possibilities! ~ Margaret Atwood
Macbeth Motif quotes by Margaret Atwood
The dichotomy between art and industry is totally dysfunctional in terms of film. ~ Ann Macbeth
Macbeth Motif quotes by Ann Macbeth
If, while I'm painting, I distort or destroy a motif, it is not a planned or conscious act, but rather it has a different justification: I see the motif, the way I painted it, is somehow ugly or unbearable. Then I try to follow my feelings and make it attractive. And that means a process of painting, changing or destroying - for however long it takes - until I think it has improved. And I don't demand an explanation from myself as to why this is so. ~ Gerhard Richter
Macbeth Motif quotes by Gerhard Richter
[ ... ] - What are these,
So withered, and so wild in their attire,
That look not like th'inhabitants o'th' earth
And yet are on't? - Live you, or are you aught
That man may question? You seem to understand me,
By each at once her choppy finger laying
Upon her skinny lips. You should be women,
And yet your beards forbid me to interpret
That you are so. ~ William Shakespeare
Macbeth Motif quotes by William Shakespeare
Unsex me here and fill me from crown to toe full of direst cruelty That no compunctious visitings of nature Shake my fell purpose. Macbeth ~ William Shakespeare
Macbeth Motif quotes by William Shakespeare
Macbeth was the first play I ever read. ~ Alan Cumming
Macbeth Motif quotes by Alan Cumming
Present fears are less than horrible imaginings. ~ William Shakespeare
Macbeth Motif quotes by William Shakespeare
It isn't difficult to leave King Lear or Macbeth, but once you have gone back to yourself, you want it to be the same self you have always been. ~ Paul Scofield
Macbeth Motif quotes by Paul Scofield
I was playing Rasputin and what was motivating him was crumpet really, and I was extremely keen on crumpet so I was really rather good as Rasputin. And my next catastrophic failure was Macbeth, who I played in the style of a crumpet-lover, and then when Doctor Who came along, I embraced this lunacy, this cloud-cuckoo-land where people had to be convinced by absolute nonsense. I came from a very religious background, so it was easy for me to believe in something I knew nothing about. ~ Tom Baker
Macbeth Motif quotes by Tom Baker
He took the mess that was Macbeth and fixed it, and I wonder if he might, in some small way, be able to do the same for me. ~ Sarah Dessen
Macbeth Motif quotes by Sarah Dessen
The adumbration of beauty contained in one detail was linked with the subsequent adumbration of beauty, and so it was that the various adumbrations of a beauty which did not exist had become the underlying motif of the Golden Temple. Such adumbrations were signs of nothingness. Nothingness was the very structure of this beauty. Therefore, from the incompletion of the various details of this beauty there arose automatically an adumbration of nothingness, and this delicate building, wrought of the most slender timber, was trembling in anticipation of nothingness, like a jeweled necklace tremoling in the wind. ~ Yukio Mishima
Macbeth Motif quotes by Yukio Mishima
I couldn't stop now. I'd caused so much misery that stopping now would earn me all the misery plus no reward at the end. I had to keep going. ~ Clare Urbanski
Macbeth Motif quotes by Clare Urbanski
I see Macbeth as a young, open-faced warrior, who is gradually sucked into a whirpool of events because of his ambition. When he meets the weird sisters and hears their prophecy, he's like the man who hopes to win a million - a gamble for high stakes. ~ Roman Polanski
Macbeth Motif quotes by Roman Polanski
The primary characteristics of the Shakespearean soul present themselves in Macbeth: the soul has free will, reason, conscience, and corporeality. The effect of these beliefs is holistic: they work together, whether a character be virtuous or sinful. More, no character stands alone morally, because Shakespeare assumes, theologically, that the bonds of family and society are sacred. With respect to the individual, however, there is one overarching principle at work. The fall of an individual's soul - the loss of his freedom, the ruin of his reason, the confusion of his conscience, the seduction of his flesh by lies and imagination - is a negation of his soul. ~ William Shakespeare
Macbeth Motif quotes by William Shakespeare
What, then, can Shakespearean tragedy, on this brief view, tell us about human time in an eternal world? It offers imagery of crisis, of futures equivocally offered, by prediction and by action, as actualities; as a confrontation of human time with other orders, and the disastrous attempt to impose limited designs upon the time of the world. What emerges from Hamlet is--after much futile, illusory action--the need of patience and readiness. The 'bloody period' of Othello is the end of a life ruined by unseasonable curiosity. The millennial ending of Macbeth, the broken apocalypse of Lear, are false endings, human periods in an eternal world. They are researches into death in an age too late for apocalypse, too critical for prophecy; an age more aware that its fictions are themselves models of the human design on the world. But it was still an age which felt the human need for ends consonant with the past, the kind of end Othello tries to achieve by his final speech; complete, concordant. As usual, Shakespeare allows him his tock; but he will not pretend that the clock does not go forward. The human perpetuity which Spenser set against our imagery of the end is represented here also by the kingly announcements of Malcolm, the election of Fortinbras, the bleak resolution of Edgar.

In apocalypse there are two orders of time, and the earthly runs to a stop; the cry of woe to the inhabitants of the earth means the end of their time; henceforth 'time shall be no more.' I ~ Frank Kermode
Macbeth Motif quotes by Frank Kermode
My art in the last period has all been in small format, but my paintings have become even deeper and more spiritual, speaking truly through colour. Feeling that because of my illness I would not be able to paint very much longer, I worked like a man obsessed on these little 'Meditations' (a long series of small paintings he made during the last years of his life, with as main motif the schema of a face, ed.). And now I leave these small but, to me, important works to the future and to people who love art. ~ Alexej Von Jawlensky
Macbeth Motif quotes by Alexej Von Jawlensky
On a motif such as was indicated by Reti one cannot build the plan of a whole well contested game; it is too meagre, too thin, too puny for such an end. Reti's explanations, wherever they are concerned with an analysis which covers a few moves, are correct and praiseworthy. But when he abandons the foundations of analysis in order to draw too bold, too general a conclusion, his arguments prove to be mistaken. ~ Emanuel Lasker
Macbeth Motif quotes by Emanuel Lasker
O bed! O bed! delicious bed! That heaven upon earth to the weary head. ~ Thomas Hood
Macbeth Motif quotes by Thomas Hood
One needs some really good food and drink after all the magnificent blood and gloom of Macbeth. Shakespeare always makes me ravenous ~ Agatha Christie
Macbeth Motif quotes by Agatha Christie
This symmetrical composition- the same motif appears at the beginning and at the end- may seem quite 'novelistic' to you, and I am willing to agree, but only on condition that you refrain from reading such notions as 'fictive,' 'fabricated,' and 'untrue to life' into the word 'novelistic.' Because human lives are composed in precisely such a fashion. They are composed like music. Guided by his sense of beauty, an individual transforms a fortuitous occurrence (Beethoven's music, death under a train), into a motif, which then assumes a permanent place in the composition of the individual's life ... Without realizing it, the individual composes his life according to the laws of beauty even in times of greatest distress ... The brain appears to possess a special area which we might call poetic memory and which records everything that charms or touches us, that makes our lives beautiful. ~ Milan Kundera
Macbeth Motif quotes by Milan Kundera
In the theatre, if you say 'Macbeth', all the actors will start looking very anxious. I'm so well-trained not to say it in the theatre that I can hardly say it in normal life. ~ Anna Chancellor
Macbeth Motif quotes by Anna Chancellor
You lack the season of all natures, sleep. ~ William Shakespeare
Macbeth Motif quotes by William Shakespeare
Recall Marx's fundamental insight about the "bourgeois" limitation of the logic of equality: capitalist inequalities ("exploitation") are not the "unprincipled violations of the principle of equality," but are absolutely inherent to the logic of equality, they are the paradoxical result of its consistent realization. What we have in mind here is not only the wearisome old motif of how market exchange presupposes formally/legally equal subjects who meet and interact in the market; the crucial moment of Marx's critique of "bourgeois" socialists is that capitalist exploitation does not involve any kind of "unequal" exchange between the worker and the capitalist - this exchange is fully equal and "just," ideally (in principle), the worker gets paid the full value of the commodity he is selling (his labor-power). Of course, radical bourgeois revolutionaries are aware of this limitation; however, the way they try to counteract it is through a direct "terroristic imposition of more and more de facto equality (equal salaries, equal access to health services…), which can only be imposed through new forms of formal inequality (different sorts of preferential treatments for the underprivileged). In short, the axiom of equality" means either not enough (it remains the abstract form of actual inequality) or too much (enforce "terroristic" equality) - it is a formalistic notion in a strict dialectical sense, that is, its limitation is precisely that its form is not concrete enough, but a ~ Slavoj Zizek
Macbeth Motif quotes by Slavoj Zizek
My mother had not acted for ten years. Not since a reviewer wrote that her portrayal of Lady Macbeth put him in mind of an exasperated society hostess burdened with unmannerly guests who had lost the new tennis balls, left the bathrooms in a mess, and finished the gin. ~ Victoria Clayton
Macbeth Motif quotes by Victoria Clayton
Since words elude me when I need them most, I learned long ago that I cannot count on QUALITY time with God when I want to pray. I need QUANTITY and regularity. Quality is not something I can predict. My husband, Andy, and I might schedule an elaborate evening out with candles and a gourmet meal, but there is no guarantee that we'll have a wonderful time together
chopping onions peppers die by side in the kitchen, reading together on the couch, sitting on the front step watching our sons ride bikes, and making plans for our life together. ~ Sybil MacBeth
Macbeth Motif quotes by Sybil MacBeth
I should like to take the wind and water and sand as a motif and work with them, but it has to be simplified in most cases to colour and force lines, just as music has done with sound. ~ Arthur Dove
Macbeth Motif quotes by Arthur Dove
I've always wanted to play 'Lady Macbeth' and Strindberg's 'Miss Julie'. ~ Olivia D'Abo
Macbeth Motif quotes by Olivia D'Abo
At 13, in my first year of Tonbridge, I went up for the part of Macbeth. I was up against the 17- and 18-year-olds, but for some reason I got the part. It made me incredibly unpopular with my peers, but it was the English and drama teachers who stepped in to save me when others wanted me kicked out of the school. ~ Dan Stevens
Macbeth Motif quotes by Dan Stevens
Methought I heard a voice cry, Sleep no more!
Macbeth does murder sleep, - the innocent sleep;
Sleep that knits up the ravell'd sleave of care,
The death of each day's life, sore labour's bath,
Balm of hurt minds, great nature's second course,
Chief nourisher in life's feast. ~ William Shakespeare
Macbeth Motif quotes by William Shakespeare
In the Chauvet Cave, there is a painting of a bison embracing the lower part of a naked female body. Why does Pablo Picasso, who had no knowledge of the Chauvet Cave, use exactly the same motif in his series of drawings of the Minotaur and the woman? Very, very strange. ~ Werner Herzog
Macbeth Motif quotes by Werner Herzog
