You are validating my inherent mistrust of strangers.

huge shakespear fan, so it has to be when romeo kisses juliet for the first time. Its not actually a small quote, more of a passage.

ROMEO:
If I profane with my unworthiest hand
This holy shrine, the gentle fine is this:
My lips, two blushing pilgrims, ready stand
To smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss.

ROMEO:
If I desecrate with my most unworthy hand
This holy shrine of your hand, the gentle end is this,
My lips, like two blushing pilgrims, ready stand
To smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss.

JULIET:
Good pilgrim, you do wrong your hand too much,
Which mannerly devotion shows in this;
For saints have hands that pilgrims’ hands do touch,
And palm to palm is holy palmers’ kiss.

JULIET:
Good pilgrim, you wrong your hand too much,
Which is showing devotion and good manners in this touch;
For saints have hands that pilgrims' hands touch,
And putting a palm to another palm is a holy pilgrim's kiss.

ROMEO:
Have not saints lips, and holy palmers too?

ROMEO:
Don’t saints and holy pilgrims have lips too?

JULIET:
Ay, pilgrim, lips that they must use in prayer.

JULIET:
Yes, pilgrim, lips that they must use in prayer.

ROMEO:
O, then, dear saint, let lips do what hands do!
They pray; grant thou, lest faith turn to despair.

ROMEO:
O, then, dear saint, let our lips do what hands do;
They pray, as you said, in case faith should turn to despair.

JULIET:
Saints do not move, though grant for prayers’ sake.(110)

JULIET:
Saints do not move, though they do grant favors for prayers' sake.

ROMEO:
Then move not while my prayer's effect I take.
Thus from my lips, by thine my sin is purg'd.

ROMEO:
Then don’t move while I take my prayer's answer.
Thus from my lips, by your lips, my sin is purged.

JULIET:
Then have my lips the sin that they have took.

JULIET:
Then, do my lips have the sin that they have taken from yours?.

ROMEO:
Sin from my lips? O trespass sweetly urg'd!
Give me my sin again.

ROMEO:
Sin from my lips? O sin sweetly encouraged!
Give me my sin again.

JULIET:
You kiss by th’ book.

Don't piss down my back and tell me its raining !!!

When someone shows you who they are, believe them. - Maya Angelou

For thou wast a spirit too delicate
To act her earthy and abhorr'd commands,
Refusing her grand hests, she did confine thee,
By help of her more potent ministers,
And in her most unmitigable rage.
Into a cloven pine.
Shakespeare
