Macbeth Quotes

Fair is foul

and foul is fair

stars hide your fires

Let not light see my black and deep desires

Yet do I fear thy nature;

it is too full of the milk of human kindness

Look like the innocent flower

but be the serpent under't

Come, you spirits/That tend on mortal thoughts,

unsex me here, And fill me from the crown to the toe top full Of direst cruelty!

false face must hide

what the false heart doth know

will all great

Neptune's ocean wash this blood clean from my hand

Is this a dagger which I see before me,

The handle toward my hand?

He's here in double trust

First, as I am his kinsman and his subject... then, as his host.

a little water

clears us of this deed

o valiant

Cousin, worthy gentleman

So foul and fair a day

I have not seen

why do you dress me

in borrowed robes

the instruments of darkness

tell us truths

come, thick night,

and pall thee in the dunnest smoke of hell

bloody instructions,

Which, being taught return to plague th'inventor

There's husbandry in heaven;

Their candles are all out

this dead butcher

and his fiend like queen

When shall we three meet again

In thunder, lightning, or in rain?

O, full of scorpions

is my mind, dear wife!

When the battle's

lost and won

what he hath lost,

noble Macbeth hath won

But 'tis strange. and oftentimes, to win us to our harm,

the instruments of darkness to tell us truths. win us with honest trifles, to betray 's in deepest consequence.

why do i yield to that suggestion

Whose horrid image doth unfix my hair and make my seated heart knock at my ribs

present fears

are less than horrible imaginings

o' never shall

sun that morrow see

there is not art

to find the mind's construction in the face

go get some water and

wash this filthy witness from your hand

my hands are of your color,

but I shame to wear a heart so white
