“A nature such as his, which has been amplified by all his successes, disdains his own shadow, which he walks on at noon.” (Coriolanus Quotes)
William Shakespeare
Coriolanus
“He that hath a will to die by himself fears it not from another.”
William Shakespeare
Coriolanus
“His nature is too noble for the world:
William Shakespeare
He would not flatter Neptune for his trident,
Or Jove for’s power to thunder. His heart’s his mouth:
What his breast forges, that his tongue must vent;
And, being angry, does forget that ever
He heard the name of Death.”
Coriolanus
“I think he’ll be to Rome as is the osprey to the fish, who takes it by sovereignty of nature.”
William Shakespeare
Coriolanus
“Let me have war, say I: it exceeds peace as far as day does night; it’s spritely, waking, audible, and full of vent. Peace is a very apoplexy, lethargy; mulled, deaf, sleepy, insensible; a getter of more bastard children than war’s a destroyer of men.”
William Shakespeare
Coriolanus
“Let me twine
William Shakespeare
Mine arms about that body, where against
My grained ash an hundred times hath broke
And scarr’d the moon with splinters: here I clip
The anvil of my sword, and do contest
As hotly and as nobly with thy love
As ever in ambitious strength I did
Contend against thy valour. Know thou first,
I loved the maid I married; never man
Sigh’d truer breath; but that I see thee here,
Thou noble thing! more dances my rapt heart
Than when I first my wedded mistress saw
Bestride my threshold.” (Coriolanus Quotes)
Coriolanus
“More of your conversation would infect my brain.”
William Shakespeare
Coriolanus
“They lie deadly that tell you have good faces.”
William Shakespeare
Coriolanus
“You common cry of curs! whose breath I hate
William Shakespeare
As reek o’ the rotten fens, whose loves I prize
As the dead carcasses of unburied men
That do corrupt my air, I banish you;
And here remain with your uncertainty!”
Coriolanus
“You were used to say extremity was the trier of spirits; that common chances common men could bear; that when the sea was calm all boats alike showed mastership in floating”
William Shakespeare
Coriolanus
