…And seal the title with a lovely kiss!
–Taming of the Shrew,
Act III, Scene ii

Love’s not Time’s fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle’s compass come:
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out even to the edge of doom.
—Sonnet CXVI (116)

Where hast thou been, my heart?
If from the field I shall return once more
To kiss these lips, I will appear in blood;
I and my sword will earn our chronicle.
—Antony and Cleopatra,
Act III, Scene xiii

I love him for his sake;
And yet I know him a notorious liar,
Think him a great way fool, solely a coward.
Yet these fixed evils sit so fit in him,
That they take place.
—All’s Well That Ends Well,
Act I, Scene i

My life were better ended by their hate,
Than death prorogued, wanting of thy love.
–Romeo and Juliet,
Act II, Scene ii

Stay, stay, I say!
And if you love me, as you say you do,
Let me persuade you to forbear awhile.
–Henry VI Part 1,
Act III, Scene i

Affection is a coal that must be cool’d;
Else, suffer’d, it will set the heart on fire
The sea hath bounds, but deep desire hath none.
—Venus and Adonis
