“Reputation is an idle and most false
imposition, oft got without merit and lost without
deserving. You have lost no reputation at all, unless you
repute yourself such a loser. What, man! there are more
ways to recover the general again. You are but now cast in
his mood, a punishment more in policy than in malice,
even so as one would beat his offenseless dog to affright
an imperious lion. Sue to him again, and he’s yours.”
(Othello 2.3.265-272).
