- Cassius... friends... I simply cannot betray Caesar. I refuse to engage in this mutiny, so go on without me.
- Traitor! You were never worth our time! Perish now, so you will not meddle in our business later!
- On the hour of the planned assassination of Julius Caesar, Brutus tells Cassius and the other conspirators that he will not partake in the attack (III, i).
- With no friends to help me, I believe I have already lost this fight... But I cannot admit defeat. Not yet. I need to end this war as quickly as possible to have a chance at winning. I shall bring my army to Philippi tomorrow morning, so we can catch our enemies by surprise.
