To sleep perchance to dream -- where is the phrase from?

Question

thanks

Answer 1

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? To die: to sleep;
No more; and by a sleep to say we end
The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to, 'tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wish'd. To die, to sleep;
To sleep: perchance to dream: ay, there's the rub;
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,
Must give us pause: there's the respect
That makes calamity of so long life;

Answer 5

"Hamlet" is a great play. There is also an awesome movie with Kenneth Branagh in it. It's the entire play, so it's like 4 hours or something. There is a shorter version with Mel Gibson that is also pretty good. "Macbeth" is my fav, but "Hamlet" comes in second.

That word is from the skakespearian play "Hamlet". Hamlet says that once he's pondering notwithstanding if or to no longer commit suicide. it quite is the comparable element as asserting "To stay, or to no longer stay".
