I wonder what it is that makes that the Caesar quote. I can do 6 or 7 lines of that speech but I couldn't quote anything else from JC. I even thought "cry havoc!.." was a different play.
We can come by between classes. Usually I use that time to copy over my class notes with a system of different colored pens. But it's been pointed out to me that that's, you know...insane.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

I don't know, "Et tu, Brute?" could give it a run for its money.
Is it the climax of the play?
No, it's the denouement. It's after Caesar's dead.

I think "Cry Havoc!" is also up there.

"he's got a lean and hungry look" and "beware the ides of march" are pretty big.

"he's got a lean and hungry look"
I've never heard this quoted before. Huh.
"beware the ides of march"
Oh, of course. Yeah, there are a lot of quotable lines. It's Shakespeare!

I think my favorite Julius Caesar quote is "The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars / But in ourselves."

There's a local troupe called "The Lean and Hungry Theater Company."
Back when I taught Shakespeare, the other teacher maintained that JC was the most-quoted Shakespeare. I argued, and still think, that Hamlet is.
I mean, look at all the politicians who use Polonius' advice as sincere quotage.
