Macbeth quotes to help

Has anoyone picked out some quotes from the play which can overlap multiple themes or characteristics. I am too busy revising science rn and I don't think I'll have time to go through the play to get the quotes. If anyone does please help and send them to me

Lemme see...

In Act 1 Scene 3, the first witch says, in reference to a sailor, whose wife refused to give her chestnuts,
"I'll drain him dry as hay:
Sleep shall neither night nor day,"

Over something so petty as that, she chose to rape the woman's husband. this can be compared with Macbeth in act 2 scene 1, when he kills Duncan, and says he walks with
"Tarquin's ravishing strides,"

Tarquin was a Roman tyrant who raped his friend's wife, Lucrece.

The fact that Macbeth compares himself to a rapist is indicative of his link to the witches. You can tie this in with contextual links quite well.
