But love is blind and lovers cannot see

William Shakespeare

What starts love is your ability to stupefy and blind yourself to the point of being able to fall in love. What stops it is waking up.

Fran Lebowitz

Why did we become blind, I don't know, perhaps one day we'll find out, Do you want me to tell you what I think, Yes, do, I don't think we did go blind, I think we are blind, Blind but seeing, Blind people who can see, but do not see.

Jose Saramago

love is blind and lovers cannot see the pretty follies that themselves commit

William Shakespeare

While friends and lovers mourn your silly grave, I have other uses for you, darling. I love the dead.

Alice Cooper

They'd never been lovers, of course, not in the physical sense. But they'd been lovers as most of us manage, loving through expressions and gestures and the palm set softly upon the bruise at the necessary moment. Lovers by inclination rather than by lust. Lovers, that is, by love.

Gregory Maguire

Walking in the dark, seeing lovers do their thing. That's the time, I feel like making love to you.

Roberta Flack

The minute I heard my first love story, I started looking for you, not knowing how blind that was. Lovers don't finally meet somewhere. They're in each other all along.

Rumi

They say that love is always blind and that explains so much, young lovers always seem so prone to use their sense of touch.

Charles Ghigna

You can't actually have a romance between friends. That sort of defeats the definition of the word "romance." The word you're looking for is "love." It's a love between friends, just as there's also love between lovers, or possible lovers, or even ex-lovers. Same holds true for "bromance" - it's just a clever word used to avoid the word love, for straight boys who don't want that old-fashioned taint of gayness. Dudes, you love each other. Deal with it.

David Levithan

Old concept: Love is blind. Marriage is an eye opener. New concept: Love is not blind - it simply enables one to see things others fail to see.

Johann Sebastian Bach

Christian love is the only kind of love in which there is no rivalry, no jealousy. There is jealousy among the lovers of art; there is jealousy among the lovers of song; there is jealousy among the lovers of beauty. The glory of natural love is its monopoly, its power to say, 'It is mine. ' But the glory of Christian love is its refusal of monopoly.

George Matheson

I think we are blind, Blind but seeing, Blind people who can see, but do not see.

Jose Saramago

Love sees clearly, and seeing, loves on. But infatuation is blind; when it gains sight, it dies.

Mary Roberts Rinehart

Love is blind, as they say, and because love is blind, it often leads to tragedy: to conflicts in which one love is pitted against another love, and something has to give, with suffering guaranteed in any resolution.
