planted by God and watered by men

hard to climb, but once you get to the top the view is beautiful.
- Love is not blind - It sees more and not less,
but because it sees more it is willing to see less.
- Love is like the sun coming out of the clouds
and warming your soul.
- Love is a moment that lasts forever...
- Love isn't blind; it just only sees what matters.
- Love that is true never grows old.
- Love reminds you that nothing else matters.
- Love is a decision not an emotion or feeling,
that if made from the heart will outlast anything...
- Love is more than a feeling;
it's a state of mind.
- Love is like a blazing flame,
golden and full of warmth.
- Love is like a piece of art work,
even the smallest bit can be so beautiful.
- Love is like war: easy to begin but very hard to stop

Characterization of Romeo
Romeo is the son of the Lord of Montague and he is one of the main characters of the play. He is about 20 years old. At first he loves Rosaline but thats the reason why he feels very sad because of the fact that his love Rosaline (l.195...I do love a woman) does not return his love. The words ...I have lost myself, I am not here, This is not Romeo, he´some other where stress his sadness(l. 188-189). In this talk he wallows in self-pity and is very depressed. Then he talks about love and the fact that love is unfair and confusing, because Rosaline doesn´t love him. You can also see that Romeo is brave because he goes to the party of capulet which are the enemies of his family. On this party he sees Juliet. That´s the reason why Romeo´s infatuation with Rosaline ends(Chorus). Now he is in love with Juliet.
