Petruchio Quotes

“Why, that is nothing: for I tell you, father,
I am as peremptory as she proud-minded;
And where two raging fires meet together
They do consume the thing that feeds their fury:
Though little fire grows great with little wind,
Yet extreme gusts will blow out fire and all:
So I to her and so she yields to me;
For I am rough and woo not like a babe.”
― William Shakespeare, The Taming of the Shrew

Now let him speak. 'Tis charity to show.”

that in a twink she won me to her love.

How tame, when men and women are alone,
A meacock wretch can make the curstest shrew.”
― William Shakespeare, The Taming of the Shrew
