"Love is blind, it stops lovers seeing..." - Quote by William Shakespeare

“Shall I not take mine ease in mine inn but I shall have my pocket picked?”

“A woman moved is like a fountain troubled, Muddy, ill-seeming, thick, bereft of beauty.”

“The gates of monarchsAre arched so high that giants may jet throughAnd keep their impious turbans on withoutGood morrow to the sun.”

“If you have not learned to be a passionate lover, do not count your life as lived. On the day of reckoning, it will not be counted.”

“Love is said to be an involuntary passion, and it is, therefore, contended that it cannot be resisted. This is true in part only, for like all things else, when nourished and supplied plentifully with ailment, it is rapid in its progress; but let these be withdrawn and it may be stifled in its birth or much stinted in its growth.”

“You anticipate what I would say, though you cannot know how earnestly I say it, how earnestly I feel it, without knowing my secret heart, and the hopes and fears and anxieties with which it has long been laden. Dear Doctor Manette, I love your daughter fondly, dearly, disinterestedly, devotedly. If ever there were love in the world, I love her.”

“What is worse than having no sight is being able to see but having no vision.”

“I have walked with people whose eyes are full of light but who see nothing in sea or sky, nothing in city streets, nothing in books. It were far better to sail forever in the night of blindness with sense, and feeling, and mind, than to be content with the mere act of seeing. The only lightless dark is the night of darkness in ignorance and insensibility.”

“Alas, that love, whose view is muffled still, Should without eyes see pathways to his will!”
