My only love sprung from my only hate;
too early unknown and known too late.

~ William Shakespeare (Act I, Scene IV)

Love give me strength
and strength will help me through.

~ William Shakespeare

The secret of every good relationship is communication.
If you don't know how to communicate (a learned skill),
then when lust fades (as it inevitably will), your
relationship will fall apart. Learn how to
communicate with your lover to keep your love centered and strong.

Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou, Romeo?
Deny they father, and refuse thy name.
Or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love,
And I'll no longer be a Capulet.

~ William Shakespeare

See how she leans her cheek upon her hand!
O that I were a glove upon that hand,
that I might touch that cheek!

by any other name would smell as sweet.

Good night, good night. Parting is such sweet sorrow,
that I shall say good night till it be morow.

But soft! What light through yonder window breaks?
It is the east and Juliet is the sun.

~ William Shakespeare (Act II, Scene II)

O! She doth teach the torches to burn bright.
It seems she hangs upon the cheek of night
Like a rich jewel in an Ethiop's ear;
Beauty too rich for use, for earth too dear.

~ William Shakespeare (Act I, Scene V)

I know not how to tell thee who I am.
My name, dear saint, is hateful to myself,
because it is an enemy to thee.

~ William Shakespeare

O true apothecary!
The drugs are quick.
Thus with a kiss I die.

~ William Shakespeare
