Romeo & Juliet:
A Book of Quotes
By Jonathan Olivera
Act I
One fire burns out another's burning,
One pain is lessen'd by another's anguish;
Turn giddy, and be holp by backward turning;
One desperate grief cures with another's languish.
Is love a tender thing? it is too rough,
Too rude, too boisterous, and it pricks like thorn.
If love be rough with you, be rough with love;
Prick love for pricking, and you beat love down.
But, soft! what light through yonder window breaks?
It is the east, and Juliet is the sun!
Act II
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.
What's in a name? That which we call a rose,
By any other word would smell as sweet.
Love goes toward love, as schoolboys from their books,
But love from love, toward school with heavy looks.
Good-night, good-night! Parting is such sweet sorrow
That I shall say
