This used to be a really obscure Macbeth quote: “They have tied me to a stake; I cannot fly, but, bear-like, I must fight the course.” (It’s from a really short scene in Act Five where Macbeth kills Young Seward.) Then Oskar Eustis said, “Lin, I run the Shakespeare Festival and even I don’t get this reference.” He was correct. I was being willfully esoteric. So I went with one of the greatest hits. But I still like my Act Five reference better.
