Self-knowledge Quotes

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  up on  my sleeve
For  daws to peck at: I am not what I am.
(I.i.62-66)

His soul is so enfetter'd to her love

That she  may make,  unmake, do what she list,

Even as her appetite shall play the god

With his weak function.

(II.iii.334-37)

No, when light-wing'd toys

Of feather'd Cupid seel with wanton dullness
My speculative and offic'd instruments,
That my disports corrupt and taint  my business,
Let huswives  make a skillet of  my helm,
And all indign and base adversities
Make head against  my estimation!
(I.iii.268—74)

No, let me know;

And knowing what I  am, I  know what she shall be.

(IV.i.72-73)
