Romeo + Juliet  - Quotes

 Romeo:
If I profane with my unworthiest hand this holy shrine, the gentle sin is this. My lips, two blushing pilgrims, ready stand to smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss.
Juliet:
Good pilgrim, you do wrong your hand too much, which mannerly devotion shows in this. For saints have hands that pilgrims' hands do touch, and palm to palm is holy palmers' kiss.
Romeo:
Have not saints lips, and holy palmers, too?
Juliet:
Ay, pilgrim, lips that they must use in prayer.
Romeo:
Well, then, dear saint, let lips do what hands do. They pray, grant thou, lest faith turn to despair.
Juliet:
Saints do not move, though grant for prayers' sake.
Romeo:
Then move not, while my prayer's effect I take.
Romeo:
[They kiss] Thus from my lips, by thine, my sin is purged.
Juliet:
Then have my lips the sin that they have took?
Romeo:
Sin from my lips? O trespass sweetly urged! Give me my sin again.
Juliet:
[they kiss again] You kiss by the book.

Yes?
Young Nearchus:
Master?
Aristotle:
Yes, out with it, out with it.
Young Nearchus:
Why are the Persians so cruel?
Aristotle:
That is not the subject for today Nearchus. But it is true, the Oriental races are known for their barbarity and slavish devotion to their senses. Excess in all things is the undoing of men. That is why we Greeks are superior, we practice control of our senses. Moderation. [laughs]
Aristotle:
We hope.

[Seating herself in a carriage] My, this weather...
Rev. Elton:
Miss Woodhouse, please! Fate has left us alone for a reason.
Emma Woodhouse:
Mr. Elton! Why do you seize my hand!

Good heavens! Go back!
Rev. Elton:
Surely my ardent attachment to you, my love and devotion cannot help but have made an impression!

Mm hmm.

The party spirits have confused you! Allow me to deliver your message to Miss Smith, but you must direct no more of it to me.

Miss Smith? What sort of message would I want to send to her? Miss Smith?
