Love is dead; let lovers' eyes
More quotes by John Ford
Tell us, pray, what devil
This melancholy is, which can transform
Men into monsters.
Let them fear bondage who are slaves to fear;
The sweetest freedom is an honest heart.
Melancholy
Is not, as you conceive, indisposition
Of body, but the mind's disease.
You may also like
Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind,
And therefore is wing'd Cupid painted blind.
To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead.
Not for the body, but for the heart; companion and company are needed.
Love seldom haunts the breast where learning lies,
And Venus sets ere Mercury can rise.
