Quote by William Shakespeare

What's in a name? that which we call a roseBy any other name would smell as sweet.

What's in a name? that which we call a roseBy any other name

Summary

This quote, spoken by Juliet in Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, asserts that the essence or true nature of something is not influenced by the name it is given. The name of a rose does not alter its sweet fragrance or inherent qualities. This idea challenges the significance humans place on labels and suggests that the true value lies in the substance itself, rather than in the name given to it. It reflects the notion that identities and perceptions should be based on substance and merit rather than superficial factors such as names or titles.
