Romeo: Peace, peace, Mercutio, peace! Thou talk’st of nothing.

Mercutio: True, I talk of dreams.

If thou dost love, pronounce it faithfully.

JULIET

O, swear not by the moon, the inconstant moon,
That monthly changes in her circled orb,
Lest that thy love prove likewise variable.

ROMEO

What shall I swear by?

JULIET

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, sc 2

Re: Romeo & Juliet

E: I hate this play…You watch it and you feel miserable because you don’t have that kind of passion in your life. Nobody does — it’s a fantasy. It’s irresponsible.

G: You know what I think? I think it’s painfully accurate: Two idiots meet, they fall in love, they’re happy…briefly. Then all hell breaks loose.

It happens all the time.

O blessed, blessed night! I am afeard.
Being in night, all this is but a dream,
Too flattering-sweet to be substantial.
