“Some Cupid kills with arrows, some with traps.”
William Shakespeare
“Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind; and therefore is winged Cupid painted blind.”
“But love is blind, and lovers cannot see The pretty follies that themselves commit, For if they could, Cupid himself would blush To see me thus transformed to a boy”
“Cupid is a knavish lad, Thus to make poor females mad”
“O innocent victims of Cupid,Remember this terse little verse:To let a fool kiss you is stupid,To let a kiss fool you is worse.”
E. Y. Harburg
“And therefore is winged Cupid painted blind.”
“Cupid and my Campaspe played / At cards for kisses, Cupid paid.”
John Lyly
