Love Over Time
My love should kindle to inflam’d respect.
-King Lear,
Act I, Scene i

Unloose thy long-imprison’d thoughts,
And let thy tongue be equal with thy heart.
-Henry VI Part 2,
Act V, Scene i

This is the monstruosity in love… that the will
is infinite and the execution confined, that the
desire is boundless and the act a slave to limit.
-Troilus and Cressida,
Act III, Scene ii

O love,
Be moderate; allay thy ecstasy,
In measure rein thy joy; scant this excess.
I feel too much thy blessing: make it less,
For fear I surfeit.
-Merchant of Venice,
Act III, Scene ii

What though the rose have prickles, yet ’tis pluck’d:
Were beauty under twenty locks kept fast,
Yet love breaks through and picks them all at last.
–Venus and Adonis

Let your best love draw to that point,
which seeks best to preserve it.
-^Antony and Cleopatra,
Act III, Scene iv

For love is still most precious in itself.
–Two Gentlemen of Verona,
Act II, Scene vi
