And therefore is winged Cupid painted blind.

Summary

This quote is from William Shakespeare's play "A Midsummer Night's Dream." It suggests that Cupid, the god of love, is depicted as blind, indicating that love is irrational and unpredictable. The phrase implies that love does not follow rational decision-making or logic, but rather works in mysterious and unexpected ways. Cupid's blindness symbolizes the notion that love is often out of our control and can lead us in surprising directions, without considering external factors or consequences.
