"Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer

The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,

Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,

and by opposing end them?"

Shakespeare's "Hamlet" Quote - Chapter 17, Page 238



The tittle of the book "Brave New World"

is from Shakespeare's "The Tempest."

"How many goodly creatures are there here!

How beauteous mankind is!

O brave new world,

That has such people in it!"

The Tempest also inspired the story line for the great classic Sci Fi movie Forbidden Planet'

Answer 2

Yes, it's one of several Shakespearean passages in Brave New World.

It is from Hamlet's "To Be or Not to Be" soliloquy:

To be, or not to be: that is the question:

Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer

The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,

Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,

And by opposing end them?
