Am in the middle of writing a review (for Little Shop of Horrors as it happens) and am trying to recall the quote from Macbeth - the gist of it is likening murder to crossing a river and once you've gone so far in it's as much effort to go to the other side as come back. Or something like that. Any help much appreciated.

It's towards the end of Act III

MACBETH
I hear it by the way; but I will send:
There's not a one of them but in his house
I keep a servant fee'd. I will to-morrow,
And betimes I will, to the weird sisters:
More shall they speak; for now I am bent to know,
By the worst means, the worst. For mine own good,
All causes shall give way: I am in blood
Stepp'd in so far that, should I wade no more,
Returning were as tedious as go o'er:
Strange things I have in head, that will to hand;
Which must be acted ere they may be scann'd.
