Famous quotes containing the words romeo, juliet and/or score:

    It is nor hand, nor foot,
    Nor arm, nor face, nor any other part
    Belonging to a man. O, be some other name!
    What’s in a name? That which we call a rose
    By any other word would smell as sweet;
    So Romeo would, were he not Romeo called,
    Retain that dear perfection which he owes
    Without that title. Romeo, doff thy name,
    And for thy name, which is no part of thee,
    Take all myself.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    But soft, what light through yonder window breaks?
    It is the east, and Juliet is the sun.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Whereas, before, our forefathers had no other books but the score and the tally, thou hast caused printing to be used, and, contrary to the King, his crown, and dignity, thou hast built a paper-mill.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
