Post your ideas for your first Literary Graffiti quote. Include the following, at a minimum:
* The quote: "Do you ever think of yourself as actually dead lying in a box with a lid on it?...I mean one thinks of it like being alive in a box, one keeps forgetting to take into account the fact that one is dead... it isn't a pleasant thought I asked you straight off-I'm going to stuff you in this box now, would you rather be alive or dead? Naturally, you'd prefer to be alive. Life in a box is better than no life at all. I expect. You could lie there thinking-well at least I'm not dead!"
* The source: Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are dead
* The original context: "Rosencrant and Guildenstern are wandering around the castle after talking with the player, and before talking to Gertrude about what happened when they talked to Hamlet.
* Your artistic vision, ideas, plans: write the quote so it makes an outline of a coffin, a coffin stencil with the words in the middle, or a coffin with a word bubble coming out saying the quote.
