Hamlet
O God, I could be bounded in a nut shell and count
myself a king of infinite space, were it not that I
have bad dreams.

Guildenstern
Which dreams indeed are ambition, for the very
substance of the ambitious is merely the shadow of a dream.

Hamlet
A dream itself is but a shadow.

Rosencrantz
Truly, and I hold ambition of so airy and light a
quality that it is but a shadow's shadow.

Hamlet
Then are our beggars bodies, and our monarchs and
outstretched heroes the beggars' shadows.
