Shakespeare Quotes - Coriolanus - Famous Quotes, Quotations
The
beast
With many heads butts me away. Coriolanus, 4. 1
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 very
apoplexy, lethargy: mulled, deaf, sleepy, insensible; a getter
of more bastard children than war's a destroyer of men. Coriolanus, 4. 5
Like
a dull actor now,
I have forgot my part, and I am out,
Even to a full disgrace. Coriolanus, 5. 3
O!
a kiss
Long as my exile, sweet as my revenge!
Now, by the jealous queen of heaven, that kiss
I carried from thee, dear, and my true lip
Hath virgined it e'er since. Coriolanus, 5. 3
Chaste
as the icicle
That 's curdied by the frost from purest snow
And hangs on Dian's temple. Coriolanus, 5. 3
O
mother, mother!
What have you done? Behold, the heavens do ope,
The gods look down, and this unnatural scene
They laugh at. Coriolanus, 5. 3
If
you have writ your annals true, 'tis there
That, like an eagle in a dove-cote, I
Flutter'd your Volscians in Corioli:
Alone I did it. Coriolanus, 5. 6
