“His nature is too noble for the world:
He would not flatter Neptune for his trident,
Or Jove for ‘s power to thunder.”  – Coriolanus

I watched Ralph Fiennes’ Coriolanus last night.  It was weird to see a character who so disdains the limelight.  In this RealityTV, me, me, me generation, seeing someone actively shy away from attention and praise – even if he is also something of an ass – was rather refreshing.  I would like to think that I’m not the type to falsely flatter Neptune for his trident either.
