Shakespeare Quotations on RevengeI am disgraced, impeach'd and baffled here,Pierced to the soul with slander's venom'd spear, The which no balm can cure but his heart-blood Which breathed this poison. Richard II (1.1.172) If a Jew wrong a Christian, what is his humility? Revenge. If a Christian wrong a Jew, what should his sufferance be by Christian example? Why, revenge. The villany you teach me, I will execute, and it shall go hard but I will better the instruction. The Merchant of Venice (3.1.70) The croaking raven doth bellow for revenge. Hamlet (3.2.250) Up, sword; and know thou a more horrid hent: When he is drunk asleep, or in his rage, Or in the incestuous pleasure of his bed; At game, a-swearing, or about some act That has no relish of salvation in't; Then trip him, that his heels may kick at heaven, And that his soul may be as damn'd and black As hell, whereto it goes. My mother stays: This physic but prolongs thy sickly days. Hamlet (3.3.77) How all occasions do inform against me, And spur my dull revenge! Hamlet (4.4.35-6) O, from this time forth, My thoughts be bloody, or be nothing worth! Hamlet (4.4.65-6) Revenge should have no bounds. Hamlet (4.7.143) When we are born, we cry that we are come To this great stage of fools: this a good block; It were a delicate stratagem, to shoe A troop of horse with felt: I'll put 't in proof; And when I have stol'n upon these sons-in-law, Then, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill! King Lear (4.6.200-5) I will have such revenges on you both, That all the world shall--I will do such things,-- What they are, yet I know not: but they shall be The terrors of the earth. King Lear (2.4.305-9) As for the brat of this accursed duke, Whose father slew my father, he shall die. 3 Henry VI (1.3.5-6) Bastard of Orleans See, noble Charles, the beacon of our friend; The burning torch in yonder turret stands. Charles Now shine it like a comet of revenge, A prophet to the fall of all our foes! 1 Henry VI (3.2.30-3) By most mechanical and dirty hand: Rouse up revenge from ebon den with fell Alecto's snake, For Doll is in. Pistol speaks nought but truth. 2 Henry IV (5.5.38-41) Oft have I heard that grief softens the mind, And makes it fearful and degenerate; Think therefore on revenge and cease to weep. 2 Henry VI (4.4.1-3) Had thy brethren here, their lives and thine Were not revenge sufficient for me; No, if I digg'd up thy forefathers' graves And hung their rotten coffins up in chains, It could not slake mine ire, nor ease my heart. The sight of any of the house of York Is as a fury to torment my soul; And till I root out their accursed line And leave not one alive, I live in hell. 3 Henry VI (1.3.28-36) My ashes, as the phoenix, may bring forth A bird that will revenge upon you all: And in that hope I throw mine eyes to heaven, Scorning whate'er you can afflict me with. 3 Henry VI (1.4.35-8) I'll never pause again, never stand still, Till either death hath closed these eyes of mine Or fortune given me measure of revenge. 3 Henry VI (2.3.31-3) Caesar's spirit, ranging for revenge, With Ate by his side come hot from hell, Shall in these confines with a monarch's voice Cry 'Havoc,' and let slip the dogs of war. Julius Caesar (3.1.271) |
