QUOTES FROM THE BARD

PLAY: Othello ACT/SCENE: 2.1 SPEAKER: Iago CONTEXT: IAGO
Sir, he’s rash and very sudden in choler, and haply may
strike at you. Provoke him that he may. For even out of
that will I cause these of Cyprus to mutiny, whose
qualification shall come into no true taste again but by
the displanting of Cassio. So shall you have a shorter
journey to your desires by the means I shall then have
to prefer them, and the impediment most profitably
removed, without the which there were no expectation of
our prosperity.
RODERIGO
I will do this, if you can bring it to any opportunity. DUTCH: Hij is driftig, man, en zeer opvliegend, en trekt misschien
het zwaard tegen u; terg hem daartoe; want juist
daarmee wil ik die van Cyprus zoo opruien, dat zij niet
tot bedaren zullen komen, voordat Cassio verwijderd is.
