'The best clicks are not unlike the characteristics of addictive drugs: a short rapid-onset high that just as quickly falls off, leaving one craving the next hit.'
That's like when you get stopped for speeding and the cop comes to your window with his ticket book and pen, and you say, " I'll have a burger with fries and a large chocolate shake, thanks."
"I waved to a man because I thought he waved at me. Apparently he was waving at another woman. So to get out of an embarrassing situation, I kept my hand up, and a taxi pulled over; and he drove me to the airport... I am now in Poland starting a new life."
"I like living. I have sometimes been wildly, despairingly, acutely miserable, racked with sorrow; but through it all I still know quite certainly that just to be alive is a grand thing."
The Elizabethan period Romeo and Juliet belongs to a tradition of tragic romances stretching back to Ancient Greece. Its plot is based on an Italian tale, translated into verse as Romeus and Juliet by Arthur Brooke in 1562, and retold in prose in Palace of Pleasure by William Painter in 1582. Brooke and Painter were Shakespeare's chief sources of inspiration for Romeo and Juliet. He borrowed heavily from both, but developed minor characters, particularly Mercutio and Paris, in order to expand the plot. The play was believed written between 1591–1595, and was first published in a quarto version in 1597. This text was of poor quality, and later editions corrected it, bringing it more in line with Shakespeare's original text. - (Frosty/Yahoo Answers).
"It's all made up, so it can be set in any time you want it to be. It's loosely based on the Greek myth of Pyramus and Thisbe. It's more closely based on the Italian story of Romeus and Juliet, but Shakespeare was the one who set it in Verona, came up with the Capulets and the Montagues and most of the other minor characters.
The Capulets and the Montagues lived in different time periods in Italian history (1200s and 1400s I think), neither lived in Verona. Dante puts their names together in a verse of his Divine Comedy (There are people who think this is just a mistake on Dante's part) and that's where scholars think Shakespeare got the names from.
Soooo... like much of Shakespeare's work, it could be intended to have an intentional feeling of "timelessness." The actors would probably have been wearing modern (late 16th century) costumes." (Mitsy-Yahoo Answers).
