Romeo And Juliet Quotes And Sayings (1)


“What’s in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet-Juliet (Act II, Scene 2) Romeo and Juliet” William Shakespeare – Romeo And Juliet Quotes

Many claim that this is Shakespeare’s greatest quotation.  In it Juliet expresses her displeasure for the term name.  She continues to focus on the fact that if a rose had a different name it would still be a rose with all the features.  She is angry because she loves Romeo who carries the name of a rival family.  Because of this feud the couple is not supposed to be together.  Thus her point is that the name of something is insignificant when placed against what it is.

“Good Night, Good night! Parting is such sweet sorrow, that I shall say good night till it be morrow.-Juliet (Act II, Scene 2) Romeo and Juliet” William Shakespeare – Romeo And Juliet Quotes

The play Romeo and Juliet is a great collector’s item.  The language or quotes it possesses are magnificent.  These three quotes are mere some of the wonderful ones used by Shakespeare.  Thinking about these words can help you to see how deep you can get with your verbal expression of love.
