While Romeo is hiding in the Capulet garden, he sees Juliet through her bedroom window. In the text, he says the following: " But soft, what light through yonder window breaks? It is the East, and Juliet is the sun." (II.2.3-4). What Romeo is basically saying in this quote is what is that light over there? Then realizing it is Juliet, Romeo compares her to the sun rising in the east, with Juliet as the Sun and her bedroom window as the East.

After Romeo reveals himself to Juliet in he garden, Juliet asks Romeo how he got into the garden, because the walls are high and if the Capulets were to find Romeo in the garden, they would kill him. Romeo's response to this is as follows: "With love's light wings did I o'erperch these walls, For stony limits cannot hold love out, And what love can do, that dares love attempt.Therefore thy kinsmen are no stop to me" (II.2.71-74). Romeo is saying that nothing can stop love, specifically Romeo's love for Juliet, not even high walls or the threat of death.
