- "But, soft! What light through yonder window breaks?
It is the East, and Juliet is the sun."
- "O Romeo, Romeo! Wherefore art thou Romeo?
Deny thy father and refuse thy name;
Or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love,
And I’ll no longer be a Capulet."
- "When he shall die,
Take him and cut him out in little stars,
And he will make the face of heaven so fine
That all the world will be in love with night
And pay no worship to the garish sun."
- "These violent delights have violent ends,
And in their triumph die; like fire and powder,
Which as they kiss consume: the sweetest honey
Is loathsome in his own deliciousness
And in the taste confounds the appetite.
Therefore love moderately; long love doth so;
Too swift arrives as tardy as too slow."
- "Good night, good night! Parting is such sweet sorrow,
That I shall say good night till it be morrow."
