GCSE Macbeth

Can i still get a grade 8 in Macbeth if i use popularish quotes such as ‘Macbeth doth murder sleep’ I think im trying too hard to find niche quotes with deep analysis, does anyone have any good ones for the theme of guilt?

the popularity of the quotes doesn't make a difference, as long as your analysis and understanding of them is good. Some quotes i'd suggest for guilt though would be:
"Amen stuck in my throat" -macbeth
"never shake thy gory locks at me" - macbeth
"she has light by her continually" - gentlewoman about lady Macbeth (this is best used if exploring the theme of light throughout the play, as lady M's insistence on having light by her can be seen as a desperate attempt to find comfort/hope in the perpetual dark, in spite of the fact she was the one who brought the darkness to Scotland in the first place to hide her sins - her and Macbeth's guilt manifests as the constant night)
