In Romeo and Juliet, what passionate love quotes does Romeo say to Juliet?
Act I Scene v: Romeo sees Juliet at 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.
(taken from the 1st link, e-notes online side-by-side text)
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 soliloquy), 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.

What is a quote or many lines in Romeo and Juliet that show passion?
[For goodness sake! This is Romeo and Juliet! There are about a million quotes that show passion! That being said, there are many different types of passion, so let me choose a couple of good ones for you:]
Alive in triumph, and Mercutio slain? / Away to heaven respective lenity, / And fire-eyed fury be my conduct now! (3.1.122-124)
Here Romeo shows his heartfelt passion for his slain friend, Mercutio. Unfortunately, he turns his passion into murder. Killing Tybalt and being banished from Verona as a result are two plot points that deftly bring about Romeo's eventual end.
Be not so long to speak. I long to die / If what thou speakst speak not of remedy. (4.1.68-69)
You will find that much of Juliet's show of passion has to do with desperation in regards to her situation (and that many of the passionate quotes from the play are from Act 5). Here Juliet begs Friar Laurence for a remedy to the lovers' desperate situation. Longing to die, wishing for suicide, and eventually carrying the act out are all through the passion of desperation.
O my love! my wife! / Death that hath sucked the honey of thy breath, / Hath had no power yet upon thy beauty. / Thou art not conquered. (5.3.91-94)
Here is a "usual" show of passion from Romeo in that he is expressing his love for Juliet. The difference here is that Juliet is no longer alive (or so Romeo thinks), but Romeo's passion is no less amazing.
O churl! Drunk all, and left no friendly drop / To help me after? / . . . O happy dagger! This is thy sheath; there rest, and let me die. (5.3.168-175)
Juliet's last act: perhaps the biggest show of passion in the play. Juliet has gone from the passion of desperation to passion and virtual joy in death. "For never was a story of more woe / Than this of Juliet & her Romeo." (5.3.323-324)
In Romeo and Juliet, what passionate love quotes does Romeo say to Juliet?
Due to the fact that formatting only allows for a short answer, I had to shorten your question. Since we cannot cover 15 quotes in the space provided, below are two quotes from Acts 1 through 3 that can serve as an example to help you look for further quotes.The play Romeo and Juliet is full of lines and imagery that depict both romance and violence as passionate emotions.
One quote depicting the passion of violence is spoken by Prince Escalus in the opening scene,
What, ho! you men, you beasts,Prince Escalus speaks of the feuding families' hatred as a "fire." Since love and hate can both be described in terms of a hot, or fiery, emotion, this phrase serves to illustrate the passion felt in violence. Likewise, a quote that portrays love as a fiery feeling of passion is spoken by Romeo later in this scene: "Love is a smoke rais'd with the fumes of sighs," meaning that love is the smoke that is produced from heated sighing (line 190).
That quench the fire of your pernicious rage
With purple fountains issuing from your veins! (Act 1, Scene 1)
In Act 2, a quote that refers to Romeo's passionate feelings is spoken in jest by Mercutio as he and Benvolio search for Romeo after the Capulets' feast. Mercutio hollers, "Romeo! humours! madman! passion! lover! / Appear thou in the likeness of a sigh," serving to joke about Romeo's insistence in feeling heavy-hearted over Rosaline.
One good quote depicting Juliet's passionate feelings for Romeo in Act 2, Scene 2 is the passage:
What's Montague? it is not hand, nor foot,The references to body parts, beginning with sexually least important and escalating into references that are sexually most important, such as "arm," "face," and especially "any other part belonging to a man," serves to show that Juliet is at this moment thinking of Romeo in a passionate and sexual manner.
Nor arm, nor face, nor any other part
Belonging to a man. (line 42-44)
Another good passage referring to the passion of violence can be seen in Act 3, Scene 1 in Benvolio's opening speech in which he says:
The day is hot, the Capulets abroad,Again, the references to heat help to portray violence as a hot, passionate feeling, while the phrase "mad blood," also portrays it as a passionate, insane emotion. Similarly, Mercutio refers to Benvolio as being "as hot a Jack in thy mood as any in Italy," meaning that Benvolio is as hot tempered as any man in Italy. Again, the references to heat portray anger and violence as a passionate emotion.
And, if we meet, we shall not scape a brawl;
For now, these hot days, is the mad blood stirring.
What is one quote from Juliet in Romeo and Juliet that expresses her feelings for Romeo?
Three words, dear Romeo, and good night indeed.
If that thy bent of love be honourable,
Thy purpose marriage, send me word to-morrow,
By one that I'll procure to come to thee,
Where and what time thou wilt perform the rite;
And all my fortunes at thy foot I'll lay
And follow thee my lord throughout the world.
I included these lines from Act II, scene ii as a set for you to analyze about Juliet's feelings for Romeo. I am not quite sure what you mean by analyze, so I will give you some ideas in terms of comprehension, literary device and real relationship.
First, these lines occur during the balcony scene as the lovers say their good night salutations. She is essentially saying, "Dude, if you are serious about all of this, I'm in. Send someone to meet me tomorrow after you secure our marriage plans and I will be there. Then, she says she is willing to give him everything she has: riches, love, her very being.
I find it interesting that she says "Three words" because we don't know what those are, but my mind goes right to I love you when she says that. She also figuratively makes him into a worshipful figure as she tells him that she'll lay everything at his feet. The effect of this is to demontrate the devotion she is willing to give him.
These last couple of lines are key because they show her willingness to sacrifice who she is for the chance to be in this relationship. That is generous giving. That is courageous charity. This will be a risky relationship.
