Example Othello quotes

I follow him to serve my turn upon him: / We cannot all be masters, nor all masters / Cannot be truly follow’d – Iago, Act I, Scene I

For when my outward action doth demonstrate / The native act and figure of my heart / In compliment extern, ’tis not long after / But I will wear my heart upon my sleeve / For daws to peck at: I am not what I am – Iago, Act I, Scene I

I hate the Moor, / And it is thought abroad, that ‘twixt my sheets / ‘Has done my office. I know not if ’t be true, / But I, for mere suspicion in that kind, / Will do as if for surety – Iago, Act I, Scene III

I am not merry; but I do beguile / the thing I am, by seeming otherwise – Desdemona, Act II, Scene I

Reputation, reputation, reputation! Oh I have / lost my reputation! I have lost the immortal part / of myself, and what remains is bestial – Cassio, Act II, Scene III
