So a Shakespeare fan. My favorite would be:
But, soft! what light through yonder window breaks?
It is the east, and Juliet is the sun.
Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon,
Who is already sick and pale with grief,
That thou her maid art far more fair than she:
Be not her maid, since she is envious;
Her vestal livery is but sick and green
And none but fools do wear it; cast it off.
It is my lady, O, it is my love!
O, that she knew she were!
She speaks yet she says nothing: what of that?
Her eye discourses; I will answer it.
I am too bold, 'tis not to me she speaks:
Two of the fairest stars in all the heaven,
Having some business, do entreat her eyes
To twinkle in their spheres till they return.
What if her eyes were there, they in her head?
The brightness of her cheek would shame those stars,
As daylight doth a lamp; her eyes in heaven
Would through the airy region stream so bright
That birds would sing and think it were not night.
See, how she leans her cheek upon her hand!
O, that I were a glove upon that hand,
That I might touch that cheek

At the end of the soliloquy, Hamlet comes to the conclusion that it is better to be because we would rather bear those ills we have than flee to ones we know not of--in other words, we are all a bunch of chickens. But in the end, he follows the path that he knows will end his life--he refuses to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune and takes arms against a sea of troubles and by opposing ends them. But this costs him his life.

(...) Whether ti's nobler in the minde to suffer
The slings and arrowes of outragious fortune,
Or to take Armes against a fea of troubles,
And by opposing, end them, to die to sleepe
No more, and by a sleepe, to say we end
The hart-ake, and the thousand naturall shocks (..)
