“And though she be but little, she is fierce.”   —   Shakespeare

(In the movie “Seabiscuit” the Toby Maguire character changes “she” to “he” to describe Seabiscuit to a reporter.  Not being the biggest Shakespeare pupil, I never gave the line a second thought!  Now I know better.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

“Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind, and therefore is winged Cupid painted blind.”   —   Shakespeare

(I’ve never noticed Cupid being painted, or otherwise depicted, as blind!  Love is blind, they say, but I never thought that Cupid was.  Is this just a funky 16th Century way of saying things?  Not an easy solve, for me.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
