In Act 3 Scene 1 of the Shakespearean play, Macbeth [c. 1014-August 15, 1057] plotted to kill his friend and former fellow General Banquo. Macbeth had become Thane of Cawdor and then King of Scotland. All was going according to plan, except for the problem of Banquo. The three witches who had predicted Macbeth's job promotions also had predicted that Banquo would be the ancestor of a long line of kings. Macbeth wanted to have Banquo killed, to consolidate power, eliminate the sole witness to the witches' predictions, and get rid of the competition. Also, he had to kill him because of how Banquo suspected him.

Why do you need a quote? If someone arranges the wholesale murder of someone else's family, even the babies, that should be enough to satisfy you of their evil intent. Shakespeare was too clever than to just have someone stand there and say how far Macbeth has sunk in depravity--it's much more effective to show him killing babies. And there is a contrast with Lady Macbeth: she talks about murdering a baby, but Macbeth actually does it.
