Quote by William Shakespeare

O Romeo, Romeo wherefore art thou Romeo

O Romeo, Romeo wherefore art thou Romeo

Summary

In this quote from Shakespeare's play Romeo and Juliet, Juliet expresses her longing and confusion for her beloved Romeo. She questions why he has to be a Montague, the family that is rival to her own. "Wherefore" in this context means "why," as she ponders why destiny has brought them together in such challenging circumstances. This line encapsulates the central conflict of the play, the obstacles and constraints imposed by society that prevent the young lovers from being together.

I don't believe the war is simply the work of politicians and capitalists. Oh no, the common man is every bit as guilty; otherwise, people and nations would have rebelled long ago! There's a destructive urge in people, the urge to rage, murder, and kill. And until all of humanity, without exception, undergoes a metamorphosis, wars will continue to be waged, and everything that has been carefully built up, cultivated and grown will be cut down and destroyed, only to start all over again!

All virtues come down to courage, at the sharp end of the sword. But courage must be tempered by prudence. Courage wasted by misdirection is the most heart-breaking of all tragedies. If there is an eighth deadly sin, it ought to be stupidity, by which all virtues run out into dry sands. Yet...where does prudence end and cowardice begin? That's a very good damn question!
