-"Thou hast not half that pow’r to do me harm / As I have to be hurt." (Emilia 5.2)
-"O gull! O dolt! / As ignorant as dirt!" (Emilia 5.2)
"Who would not make her husband a cuckold, to make him a monarch?" Emilia, Act IV scene iii
-"Heaven me such uses send,
Not to pick bad from bad, but by bad mend."
Desdemona, Act IV scene iii
"I hold my peace, sir? no;
No, I will speak as liberal as the north;
Let heaven and men and devils, let them all,
All, all, cry shame against me, yet I'll speak."
Emilia, Act Vscene ii
