2. Post a quote for 3 consecutive days (1 quote for each day).

Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind,
And therefore is winged Cupid painted blind.

Act I, scene i, lines 234-235
A Midsummer Night’s Dream by William Shakespeare

I’m ending this challenge with a quote from one of my favourite plays. I really love A Midsummer Night’s Dream because of the humour and the plot. I did my dissertation on this play (along with two others) so I know A Midsummer Night’s Dream really well.

These lines are spoken by Helena, one of the quartet of lovers, and they can be read as Helena talking about the dangerous aspects of love because blind Cupid represents the dangers of illicit sensuality.
