About This Quote

This quote comes from Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, when Claudio says to Juliet, "Thine eyes are nothing like the sun's But hundreds of little death's do glide in thine eyes." By saying this Claudio is saying that he fell in love with her through her eyes, but it is her eyes that make her who she is. Through her eyes he sees her beauty and through this he falls so deeply.
