Shakespeare uses this quote as a way to show how Romeo is so infatuated with Juliet, at the thought of her dying he threw his entire life aside and didn't think about all the other people within his life. Someone is love would instead understand the deeper meanings of love, and wouldn't replicate that feeling for the rest of the people in the world who loved him.

(Romeo) 'If I profane with my unworthiest hand this holy shrine, the gentle sin is this: My lips, two blushing pilgrims, ready stand too smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss.' (Juliet) 'Good pilgrim, you do wrong your hand too much, which mannerly devotion shows in this; For saints have hands that pilgrims' hand do touch, and palm to palm is holy palmers' kiss.' (Romeo) 'Have not saints lips, and holy palmers too?' (Juliet) 'Ay, pilgrim, lips that they must use in prayer.' (Romeo) 'O then, dear saint, let lips do what hands do. They pray: grant thou, lest faith turn to despair.' (Juliet) 'Saints do not move, though grant for prayers' sake.' (Romeo) 'Then move not while my prayers' effect I take. Thus from lips, by thine, my sin is purged.' (Juliet) 'Then have my lips the sin that they have took.' (Romeo) 'Sin from my lips? O trespass sweetly urged! Give me my sin again.' (Juliet) 'You kiss by th' book." (Act 1 scene 5 lines 104-122)
