“O, be some other name! What's in a name? that which we call a rose. By any other name would smell as sweet”

Mercutio -
“These violent delights have violent ends. And in their triumph die; like fire and powder. Which, as they kiss, consume.”
Friar Laurence -
“O, swear not by the moon, the inconstant moon. That monthly changes in her circled orb. Lest that thy love prove likewise variable.”
Juliet -
“Come, gentle night, — come, loving black brow'd night, Give me my Romeo; and 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.”
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.”
Juliet -
“Is love a tender thing? it is too rough, Too rude, too boisterous, and it pricks like thorn.”
