Brutus said that while talking to Portia in Shakespeare's Julius Caesar; Act 2, Scene 1.
Portia was Brutus's wife in Julius Caesar. Later in the play, she kills herself because Brutus fled Rome. It's quite pathetic actually.
Portia swallowed fire and died. She was the wife of Marcus Brutus.
Brutus's wife; the daughter of a noble Roman who took sides against Caesar. Portia, accustomed to being Brutus's confidante, is upset to find him so reluctant to speak his mind when she finds him troubled. Brutus later hears that Portia has killed herself out of grief that Antony and Octavius have become so powerful. As the daughter of Cato, a noble-born, Portia is an intelligent woman who demands to be an equal partner with her husband Brutus. Her argument, that she is not an ordinary woman, since Brutus chose her, in conjunction with who are family is, gives her the right to know what is going on in Brutus's life outside the home. She wants to share his life completely, as a wife. She sets out to prove to Brutus that she can handle the burden of knowing all of his secrets. She makes it clear to her husband, that she is physically strong, to express this concept, she stabs herself in the thigh, to prove to Brutus that she is capable of bearing pain. Portia provides a portrait of a woman of above average strength and quality.
because she knows there is something wrong with him and he is up to something!!

The main thing that Portia does is stab herself in the thigh. She does this to proove to Brutus that she can bear pain for him. She also blabs on about how much she knows her place but she wanted to know anyway. She gets herself so worked up that in the end she says she feels like Brutus' private prosititute rather than his wife.
