To be... or not to be... that is the question. Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to... suffer the slings and arrows of... outrageous fortune... or to take arms against a sea of troubles, and by opposing... end them.

More from Hamnet
Mary Shakespeare Your mother's trying to... keep a grip on her child. It won't work. What is given may be taken away at any time. We must never let our guard down. Never take for granted... that our children's hearts beat, that they draw breath, that they walk and speak and... smile, argue, play. Never forget for a moment that they may be gone.
Will Is it true, you know everything about a person, by touching them here? [Touches Agnes's hand]
Agnes Not everything.
Bartholomew To live with our hearts open.
Agnes, Bartholomew To shut it not in the dark but to turn it to the sun.
