“Did my heart love 'til now? Forswear its sight. For I never saw true beauty 'til this night.”
“And when I shall die, take him and cut him up in little stars, and he will make the face of heaven so fine that all the world will fall in love with night and pay no worship to the garish sun.”
“- Benvolio: Why, Romeo, art thou mad?
- Romeo: Not mad, but bound more than a mad man is. Shut up in prison, kept without my food, whipped and tormented.”“The world is not thy friend, nor the world's law.”
“- Romeo: O, wilt thou leave me so unsatisfied?
- Juliet: What satisfaction canst thou have tonight?
- Romeo: The exchange of thy love's faithful vow for mine.
- Juliet: I gave thee mine before thou didst request it!”“- Juliet: O, swear not by the moon, the inconstant moon, who monthly changes in her circled orb, lest that thy love prove likewise variable.
- Romeo: What shall I swear by?
- Juliet: Do not swear at all. Or, if thou wilt, swear by thy gracious self, which is the God of my idolatry, and I'll believe thee.”“- Juliet: 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.
- Romeo: Shall I hear more, or shall I speak at this?
- Juliet: 'Tis but thy name that is my enemy, thou art thyself though not a Montague.”“- Romeo: I dreamt a dream tonight.
- Mercutio: And so did I.
- Romeo: And what was yours?
- Mercutio: That dreamers often lie.”
