• My rage is gone,
  And I am struck with sorrow. Take him up.
  Help, three o' th' chiefest soldiers; I'll be one.
  Beat thou the drum, that it speaks mournfully,
  Trail your steel spikes. Though in this city he
  Hath widowed and unchilded many a one,
  Which to this hour bewail the injury,
  Yet he shall have a noble memory.
  Assist.

• Myself--a prince by fortune of my birth,
  Near to the king in blood, and near in love
  Till you did make him misinterpret me--
  Have stooped my neck under your injuries
  And sighed my English breath in foreign clouds,
  Eating the bitter bread of banishment,
  Whilst you have fed upon my signories,
  Disparked my parks and felled my forest woods,
  From my own windows torn my household coat,
  Rased out my imprese, leaving me no sign,
  Save men's opinions and my living blood,
  To show the world I am a gentleman.

• I endured quite a few injuries when I was younger and had my first surgery on my foot when I was 15. But I love dancing. 'Anna Karenina' was great for me as it meant I could combine the two and I actually went back and did some classes.

• Give up salt, give up sugar, give up spices, give up vegetables, give up chutnies, give up tamarind. Serve Bhangis, serve rogues, serve inferiors, remove faecal matter. Do not revenge, resist not evil, return good for evil, bear insult and injury. Forget like a child any injury done by somebody immediately. Never keep it in the heart. It kindles hatred.

• Well, I am a great believer in supercompensation. Short term overtraining leads to long-term success. I can hear the complaints about injuries, but, in truth, not too many of us suffer injuries that lead to surgery, according to those studies in the 1950′s. In fact, if you are not a druggie and have some common sense, I think you can afford to train harder than you think.

• As to Caesar, when he was called upon, he gave no testimony against Clodius, nor did he affirm that he was certain of any injury done to his bed. He only said, He had divorced Pompeia because the wife of Caesar ought not only to be clear of such a crime, but of the very suspicion of it.
