William Shakespeare - Romeo and Juliet
Scene II, Act II
The Balcony Scene
Romeo: But, soft! what light through yonder window breaks?
It is the east, and Juliet is the sun!
Juliet:O Romeo, Romeo! wherefore art thou Romeo?
Deny thy father and refuse thy name;
Or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love,
And I'll no longer be a Capulet.
'Tis but thy name that is my enemy;
Thou art thyself though, not a Montague.
What's Montague? It is nor hand, nor foot,
Nor arm, nor face, nor any other part
Belonging to a man. O, be some other name!
What's in a name? That which we call a rose,
By any other name would smell as sweet;
So Romeo would, were he not Romeo call'd,
Retain that dear perfection which he owes
Without that title: Romeo, doff thy name;
And for thy name, which is no part of thee,
Take all myself.

"Bekijk vooraleerst de hele wereld om je heen met glinsterende ogen, want de grootste geheimen zijn altijd verborgen op de meest onwaarschijnlijke plekjes. Wie niet gelooft in magie zal het nooit vinden.
Above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don't believe in magic will never find it.
