In Romeo and Juliet, what are some passionate love quotes Romeo says to Juliet?

Act I Scene
v:
seesat the Capulet ball and approaches her (1st link). He states:


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.

Act II Scene ii: Romeo
goes to Juliet's balcony professes his love to her. He states:

With
love's light wings did I o'erperch these walls; 

For stony limits
cannot hold love out, 

And what love can do, that dares love
attempt. 

Therefore thy kinsmen are no stop to
me.

Act II Scene ii:
Romeo doesn't say this TO Juliet as she doesn't know that he is there (he is underneath her
window listening to her speak and is speaking to himself, which is called a ), but he is talking
ABOUT her. 

But soft! What light through yonder window
breaks? 

It is the East, and Juliet is the
sun! 

Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious
moon, 

Who is already sick and pale with
grief

That thou her maid art far more fair than
she.
