What is a powerful Desdemona quote?

First, I should observe that as I have read “Othello,” each time I want Desdemona to be more assertive, more “emotional.” While she is no shrinking violet, compared with other characters in the tragedy, she does not often speak with an emotionally charged voice. However, in context, she speaks with emotion on occasion, and I believe one such instance is in Act 1, Scene 3, when Othello calls in his new bride to allow her to speak on behalf of their relationship. Without hesitation Desdemona speaks on behalf of herself and her love for her husband. Desdemona professes her love for Othello in front of her father and the court. By doing so she reinforces the fact that no magic powers were used; and she explaines how she went with Othello freely, by doing this she redefines her own status as Othello’s wife. By confessing her love, Desdemona is presenting to Othello her faithfulness to him because she is allowing all in the court to know about her love, which should allow Othello to see her
