I need help to know who said this quote. I don't have a textbook of the play, and I tried to search for it on google but it didn't help any. This is the quote "... most are busiest when they are most alone." Please help thanks.

Answer 1

I searched using Google's advanced search (exact phrase) and I'm told there are no results for this exact phrase.

Therefore, it's not online.

If it comes from R&J, you can go here and scan through the "modern translation" of the play:

Choose R&J, then act I and scene 1, and use only the column on the right. Start scanning; no need to read closely. Go from scene to scene until you find what you're looking for. Once you find it, you can see the original wording in the left column.
