Answer 1

1. "All the world's a stage. . ." This quote is about the different stages of human life.

Here is a website about the "Pyramid of Population. Human population can be examined by breaking it down into different ages, or, stages of man. See "Youth Bulge" on this site. It is theorized that when there is a "bulge" of young men ages 16-30, there is a rise in fascism, social unrest, terrorism and war. We are experiencing a tremendous "youth bulge" currently and certainly a rise in fascist intolerance, social unrest, terrorism and war.

2. "We are such stuff as dreams are made on. . ." This quote "celebrates that uniquely human blend of mind and matter".

Everything everywhere is made of energy, energy that all comes from the beginning of the Universe. That original energy can form into bundles that we call "particles of matter". All matter, including you, is made of those bundles of energy. And, all of our dreams and thoughts are pure energy. Recently, we took a photograph of the beginning of the Universe, the "stuff that dreams are made on. . ."

3. "Blow, blow, thou winter wind. . ." This quote describes the harshness of Nature as less cruel than how humans can treat each other, especially in their ingratitude. http://www.enotes.com/shakespeare-quotes/blow-blow-thou-winter-wind

It was determined for sure recently that mankind caused Global Warming. We thoughtlessly plundered this planet. And, now, global warming will herald an ice age and . . . thou winter winds shall blow.

Answer 2

Hamlet (Act 4, Scene 5)
....to my shame, I see
The imminent death of twenty thousand men,
That, for a fantasy and trick of fame,
Go to their graves like beds, fight for a plot
Whereon the numbers cannot try the cause,
Which is not tomb enough and continent
To hide the slain?
