….a rose by any other name….
This quote comes from a very old play called Romeo & Juliet. The person who says this quote is Juliet however this isn't the full quote the full quote is “O! Be some other name: What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet. This means what matters is what something is not what it is called. She said it because her father doesn't like that Romeo is a Montage and she is saying who cares if he is called a Montage it is just a name.
The play was written in the 1600s by a great man called William Shakespeare. He wrote it for Juliet to say. It is a very common saying as it is a very famous play.
