The quote you’re referring to is from William Shakespeare’s play Macbeth — specifically, Act 5, Scene 5. It’s part of Macbeth’s famous soliloquy after he hears of Lady Macbeth’s 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.”
In this passage, Macbeth reflects on the futility and fleeting nature of life — comparing it to a candle that quickly burns out, a mere shadow, and an empty story.
