4.0
My first Shakespearean read, this play is full of memorable lines I often hear before (this is also the reason why I chose to read Julius Caesar first).
"Men at some time are masters of their fates. The fault (dear Brutus) is not in our stars, but in ourselves, that we are underlings." -Cassius
"The abuse of greatness is when it disjoins remorse from power." -Brutus
"When beggars die, there are no comets seen. The heavens themselves blaze forth the death of princes." -Calphurnia
"Cowards die many times before their deaths, the valiant never taste of death but once. It seems to me most strange that men should fear, seeing that death, a necessary end, will come when it come." -Caesar
"Liberty, freedom! Tyranny is dead! Run hence, proclaim, cry it about the streets." -Cinna
"If then that friend demand why Brutus rose against Caesar, this is my answer: Not that I loved Caesar less, but that I loved Rome more." -Brutus
"Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears. I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him. The evil that men do lives after them, the good is oft interred with their bones. So let it be with Caesar." -Mark Antony
