The quotation is from Romeo and Juliet Act 1 Scene 1:
Why, such is love's transgression.
Griefs of mine own lie heavy in my breast,
Which thou wilt propagate, to have it prest
With more of thine: this love that thou hast shown
Doth add more grief to too much of mine own.
Romeo is addressing Benvolio who has just told him that Romeo's love-melancholy makes him sad. A transgression is a wrong or crime. Romeo is saying that the crime of love is to make people sad, and that here it is doubly bad because Benvolio's sadness is piled on top of Romeo's.
