Here are some well-known quotes from Romeo and Juliet in the order in which they appear in the play.
A pair of star-crossed lovers take their life.
(Chorus, Prologue)
Abraham: Do you bite your thumb at us, sir?
Sampson: I do bite my thumb, sir.
(Act 1 Scene 1)
But, soft, what light through yonder window breaks?
It is the east, and Juliet is the sun.
(Romeo, Act 2 Scene 1)
O Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo?
(Juliet, Act 2 Scene 1)
That which we call a rose
By any other word would smell as sweet.
(Juliet, Act 2 Scene 1)
Parting is such sweet sorrow.
(Juliet, Act 2 Scene 1)
For this alliance may so happy prove,
To turn your households' rancour to pure love.
(Friar Laurence, Act 2 Scene 2)
These violent delights have violent ends.
(Friar Laurence, Act 2 Scene 5)
A plague o' both your houses!
(Mercutio, Act 3 Scene 1)
Mercy but murders, pardoning those that kill.
(Prince, Act 3 Scene 1)
O deadly sin! O rude unthankfulness!
(Friar Laurence, Act 3 Scene 3)
Hang thee, young baggage, disobedient wretch!
I tell thee what: get thee to church o'Thursday,
Or never after look me in the face.
(Capulet, Act 3 Scene 5)
Romeo, Romeo, Romeo! Here's drink: I drink to thee.
(Juliet, Act 4 Scene 3)
O true apothecary,
Thy drugs are quick. Thus with a kiss I die.
(Romeo, Act 5 Scene 3)
O happy dagger,
This is thy sheath: there rust, and let me die.
(Juliet, Act 5 Scene 3)
All are punished.
(Prince, Act 5 Scene 3)
For never was a story of more woe
Than this of Juliet and her Romeo.
(Prince, Act 5 Scene 3)
