Shakespiare

Othello, the Moor of Venice, Act I, Scene III, line 328

"Rod. It is silliness to live when to live is torment; and then have we a prescription to die when death is our physician.

Iago. O! villanous; I have looked upon the world for four times seven years, and since I could distinguish betwixt a benefit and an injury, I never found man that knew how to love himself. Ere I would say, I would drown myself for the love of a guinea-hen, I would change my humanity with a baboon."
