Quotation from Coriolanus by William Shakespeare

“He’s a disease that must be cut away”

William Shakespeare (spoken by Sicinius Velutus)

Coriolanus, Act 3, Scene 1 (Project Gutenberg #1535)

The tribune turns the body-politic image against Coriolanus; Menenius answers that he is a limb with a curable disease, mortal to cut off.
