The course of true love never did run smooth. | Lysander on true love |
Swift as a shadow, short as any dream; Brief as the lightning in the collied night. | Lysander describes love’s fragility |
Lord, what fools these mortals be! | Puck on you |
Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind,And therefore is winged Cupid painted blind. | Helena on love’s blindness |
And yet, to say the truth, reason and love keep little company together nowadays. | Bottom on reason and love |
The lunatic, the lover, and the poet,Are of imagination all compact. | Theseus on love’s lunacy |
