I've been tutoring one of my students in Macbeth, an old favourite of mine. I studied it in Grade 10 in high school, then opted to take Early and Late Shakespeare courses in University for my degree... and I loved it doubly so the second time around!
One bit I wrote out in my notebook back in Grade 10 I haven't been able to shake... it's so eerie and describes the mentality of Lady Macbeth perfectly...
Nought's had, all's spent,
Where our desire is got without content.
'Tis safer to be that which we destroy
Than by destruction dwell in doubtful joy...
