Rome Quotations | Page 5

Out of her favour, where I am in love.

Therefore I tell my sorrows to the stones; Who, though they cannot answer my distress, Yet in some sort they are better than the tribunes, For that they will not intercept my tale: When I do weep, they humbly at my feet Receive my tears and seem to weep with me; And, were they but attired in grave weeds, Rome could afford no tribune like to these.

In truth, fair Montague, I am too fond...

What early tongue so sweet saluteth me?

she shall scant show well that now shows best.

One fairer than my love? The all-seeing sun Ne'er saw her match since first the world begun.

What sadness lengthens Romeo’s hours?

O teach me how I should forget to think (1.1.224)

where civil blood makes civil hands unclean

If I wasn't an actress, I'd like to cook. I'm pretty obsessed by it. Rome was great in that sense, going to amazing cookery bookshops. No wonder their food is good because the quality and wide range of their produce is so good. It's not fair, really.
