Quote by James Graham

Love is blind and marriage is the institution for the blind.

Love is blind and marriage is the institution for the blind.

Summary

This quote suggests that love itself can blind individuals to the flaws and realities of their partners. It implies that when people enter into marriage, they commit to a long-term partnership without always fully understanding or seeing the potential challenges or difficulties they may face together. Marriage is portrayed as an institution where partners must navigate through life's challenges without always having clear insight or foresight, perhaps relying solely on love for guidance. Overall, it highlights the idea that love can be both a powerful force and a potential risk in the context of marriage.
