Quotes
-
Menenius : I am known to be a humorous patrician, and one that loves a cup of hot wine with not a drop of allaying water in it. One that converses more with the buttock of the night than with the forehead of the morning. What I think I utter, and spend my malice in my breath.

Menenius : [taking Coriolanus to meet the commoners] Have you not known the worthiest men have done it?
Caius Martius Coriolanus : Custom calls me to it. What custom wills, in all things should we do it. What must I say? "Look, sir, my wounds. I got them in my country's service."
Menenius : O me, the gods! You must not speak like that. You must desire them to think upon you.
Caius Martius Coriolanus : Think upon me? Hang 'em. I would they would forget me.
