I cannot, nor I will not, hold me still; my tongue, though not my heart, shall have his will

The quote "I cannot, nor I will not, hold me still; my tongue, though not my heart, shall have his will" is a powerful declaration of defiance and determination. These words, spoken by the character Cressida in William Shakespeare's play "Troilus and Cressida," encapsulate the internal struggle between one's desires and societal expectations.
