When you use a line/quote from the play (or another text), you don't necessarily have to use the whole thing; you can just use the words that you want and add them to your sentence.
For example:
"I have no spur
To prick the sides of my intent, but only
Vaulting ambition, which o'erleaps itself
And falls on th' other."
*Macbeth says he doesn't have any "spur" or reason to keep his plan going (line ).
*Macbeth says the only reason he has to kill Duncan is if his "vaulting ambition" leads him to do it (line ).
*I believe Macbeth is debating whether or not he wants his ambition to "o'erleap itself" and outweigh his reasons not to commit murder (line ).
