A list of well-known quotes for Shakespeare's comedy The Two Gentlemen of Verona, in order of appearance in the play.
For he was more than over-shoes in love.
(Proteus, Act 1 Scene 1)
I have no other, but a woman's reason:
I think him so because I think him so.
(Lucetta, Act 1 Scene 2)
They do not love that do not show their love.
(Julia, Act 1 Scene 2)
You, minion, are too saucy.
(Julia, Act 1 Scene 2)
O hateful hands, to tear such loving words;
Injurious wasps, to feed on such sweet honey
And kill the bees that yield it, with your stings!
I'll kiss each several paper for amends.
(Julia, Act 1 Scene 2)
O, how this spring of love resembleth
The uncertain glory of an April day,
Which now shows all the beauty of the sun,
And by and by a cloud takes all away.
(Proteus, Act 1 Scene 3)
I'll be as patient as a gentle stream,
And make a pastime of each weary step,
Till the last step have brought me to my love,
And there I'll rest, as after much turmoil,
A blessed soul doth in Elysium.
(Julia, Act 2 Scene 7)
That man that hath a tongue, I say is no man,
If with his tongue he cannot win a woman.
(Valentine, Act 3 Scene 1)
Love is like a child
That longs for every thing that he can come by.
(Duke, Act 3 Scene 1)
And why not death, rather than living torment?
To die is to be banished from myself;
And Silvia is myself: banished from her,
Is self from self. A deadly banishment:
What light is light, if Silvia be not seen?
What joy is joy, if Silvia be not by?
(Valentine, Act 3 Scene 1)
She dreams on him that has forgot her love,
You dote on her that cares not for your love.
'Tis pity love should be so contrary:
And thinking on it makes me cry 'Alas'.
(Julia, Act 4 Scene 4)
O heaven, were man
But constant, he were perfect.
(Proteus, Act 5 Scene 4)
