Looking for great Romeo Juliet quotes? This famous romance tragedy, Romeo and Juliet was created by William Shakespeare about two young star-crossed lovers whose untimely deaths brought about the unison of their feuding households.

I studied it as a Literature subject as a student. It's probably my most recognized play of William Shakespeare. I remember being stumped by the language used back then. It's only upon deeper study and explanation by my ex-Literature teacher, was I able to grasp most of the words expressed in this dramatic play.

Now going through this collection of quotes, it brought back days of studying it as a subject, and yet made me see that I could better appreciate the dramatic use of language now than when I was younger.
