Macbeth

WHO said: "to-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,/ creeps in this petty face from day to day/ to the last syllable of recorded time,/ and all our yesterdays have lighted fools (rest in details)

..."/the way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle/ life's but a walking shadow, a poor player/ that struts and frets his hour upon the stage/ and then is heard no more: it is a tale/ told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,/ signifying nothing." WHO said it and WHAT does it means?

Macbeth says this in Act 5 sc 5. He laments his life is no longer worth living. He says that man learns nothing from his past and keeps making the same mistakes over and over again. This of course is a reflection on himself.
