Here are some of my favorite quotes. They have beautiful symbolism and imagery and they capture the reader. I also like the quick-minded wit of Shakespear.
- "One fairer than my love? The all-seeing sun
Ne'er saw her match since first the world begun."
- William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet, 1.2
- "Or bid me go into a new-made grave,
And hide me with a dead man in his shroud -
Things that, to hear them told, have made me tremble -
And I will do it without fear or doubt,
To live an unstain'd wife to my sweet love."
- William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet, 4.1
- "These violent delights have violent ends
And in their triumph die, like fire and powder,
Which as they kiss consume."
- William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet, 2.3
- "Did my heart love till now? Forswear it, sight!/For I ne'er saw true beauty till this night."
- William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet, 1.5
- "Tempt not a desperate man"
- William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet, 5.3
- "O my love, my wife!
Death, that hath suck'd the honey of thy breath
Hath had no power yet upon thy beauty."
- William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet, 5.3
