QUOTES FROM THE BARD

PLAY: Julius Caesar ACT/SCENE: 4.3 SPEAKER: Brutus CONTEXT: BRUTUS
I do not like your faults.
CASSIUS
A friendly eye could never see such faults.
BRUTUS
A flatterer’s would not, though they do appear
As huge as high Olympus.
CASSIUS
Come, Antony, and young Octavius, come,
Revenge yourselves alone on Cassius,
For Cassius is aweary of the world—
Hated by one he loves; braved by his brother;
Checked like a bondman, all his faults observed,
Set in a notebook, learned, and conned by rote
To cast into my teeth. Oh, I could weep
My spirit from mine eyes. DUTCH: Een vriendenoog zou nooit die feilen zien. MORE: Proverb: To cast (hit) in the teeth
