Summary

This quote is from Shakespeare's play Macbeth. It illustrates an internal monologue by Macbeth, after he has committed the murder of King Duncan. The voice he imagines hearing symbolizes guilt and remorse, declaring that Macbeth will not experience peaceful sleep anymore. Sleep, described as innocent and essential, is seen as a restorative force that relieves the mental and physical burdens of life. Macbeth's heinous act disrupts this natural state, creating a sense of unease and highlighting the consequences of his actions on his conscience.

Saying 'I notice you're a nerd' is like saying, 'Hey, I notice that you'd rather be intelligent than be stupid, that you'd rather be thoughtful than be vapid, that you believe that there are things that matter more than the arrest record of Lindsay Lohan. Why is that?' In fact, it seems to me that most contemporary insults are pretty lame. Even 'lame' is kind of lame. Saying 'You're lame' is like saying 'You walk with a limp.' Yeah, whatever, so does 50 Cent, and he's done all right for himself.
