O powerful love,that in some respects makes a beast a man,in some other, a man a beast.
O Judgment ! Thou art fled to brutish beasts, and men have lost their reason !
I am one, sir, that comes to tell you your daughter and the Moor are now making the beast with two backs.(IAGO,ActI,SceneI)
To be now a sensible man, by and by a fool, and presently a beast!
No beast so fierce but knows some touch of pity. But I know none, and therefore am no beast.
It is a familiar beast to man, and signifies love.
Ay, that incestuous, that adulterate beast, With witchcraft of his wit, with traitorous gifts- O wicked wit and gifts, that have the power So to seduce!
Thou knowest, winter tames man, woman, and beast.
Nature teaches beasts to know their friends.
Your daughter and the Moor are now making the beast with two backs.
What is a man, if his chief good and market of his time be but to sleep and feed? a beast, no more.
What stronger breastplate than a heart untainted! Thrice is he armed that hath his quarrel just, and he but naked, though locked up in steel, whose conscience with injustice is corrupted.
The purest treasure mortal times afford, is spotless reputation; that away, men are but gilded loam or painted clay.
The rude sea grew civil at her song,And certain stars shot madly from their spheresTo hear the sea-maid's music.
