Infinite Jest – David Foster Wallace discussion

Since our little facelift the other day, a new group challenge question has been posed to new prospective members. From Hamlet's "To be, or not to be" soliloquy, the question is:

“Is it 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]?”

(The truncated part is because Goodreads is a character-limiting little bitch.)

Anyhow, this thread will be for the mods to present us with some of our favourite answers!

Here is one I loved!

Elizabeth said: I'd be happy to answer, but I'd like you to confirm that you are holding the grimy remains of James O. Incandeza's severed head.

Glad you didn't find it bad form to answer a -to be or not to be- question with a -poor yorick- joke. :) Thanks for approving my request.

I loved it, Elizabeth!

Here's another one—

Whitney said: Save the arrow wood for hull and the sling for sail, build yourself a boat to float and prevail.

Brilliant!
