from Romeo and Juliet
by William Shakespeare
A PARADOX
is an extended
OXYMORON.
War is peace.Freedom is slavery.
Ignorance is strength. (George Orwell, 1984)
Truth is honey which is bitter.
“What a pity that youth must be wasted on the young.” George Bernard Shaw
“I can resist anything but temptation.” Oscar Wilde
O brawling love, O loving hate, O anything of nothing first created!O heavy lightness, serious vanity,Misshapen chaos of well-meaning forms!Feather of lead, bright smoke, cold fire, sick health,Still-waking sleep, that is not what it is!This love feel I, that feel no love in this.
--Romeo
Are these paradoxes or oxymorons?
