A Madness Most Discreet
Love is a smoke raised with the fume of sighs;
Being purged, a fire sparkling in lovers’ eyes;
Being vex’d, a sea nourish’d with lovers’ tears:
What is it else? A madness most discreet.
–Romeo and Juliet,
Act I, Scene i

Swear by You
O, swear not by the moon, the inconstant moon,
That monthly changes in her circled orb,
Lest that thy love prove likewise variable.
Do not swear at all;
Or, if thou wilt, swear by thy gracious self,
Which is the god of my idolatry,
And I’ll believe thee.–Romeo and Juliet,
Act II, Scene ii -

Dost thou love me? I know thou wilt say ‘Ay,’
And I will take thy word: yet if thou swear’st,
Thou mayst prove false…
If thou dost love, pronounce it faithfully.–Romeo and Juliet,

Love Dares
For stony limits cannot hold love out,
And what love can do that dares love attempt.–Romeo and Juliet,
