people don't you be afraid. so many innocent slain, this is an error for change. and malcolm's probably turning in his grave. every shade was beautifully made.. and powerful. there is so much strength in you and me, a breath away from victory. I MATTER. YOU MATTER. WE ALL MATTER. I see a colorful future where skin don't define any human, and stars are the only thing shooting.. there's mothers that bury their child, so how can we sit there and hide.. change comes when we all take a stand now. STAND UP. martin's speech still echoes in my brain..

Read the excerpt from act ii, scene v of romeo and juliet. friar laurence: these violent delights have violent ends, and in their triumph die, like fire and powder, which, as they kiss consume: the sweetest honey is loathsome in his own deliciousness and in the taste confounds the appetite: 15 therefore love moderately; long love doth so; too swift arrives as tardy as too slow. friar laurence is motivated to offer this warning because he knows that something bad will certainly happen to the lovers. feels that romeo is acting foolishly and should not get married. enjoys giving advice because he is wise and can others. wants to caution romeo about the consequences of his actions.
