A quotation from Shakespeare

HELENA: Things base and vile, holding no quantity,
   Love can transpose to form and dignity.
   Love looks not with the eyes but with the mind;
   And therefore is winged Cupid painted blind.
   Nor hath Love’s mind of any judgment taste.
   Wings, and no eyes, figure unheedy haste.
   And therefore is Love said to be a child
   Because in choice he is so oft beguiled.

William Shakespeare (1564-1616) English dramatist and poet
Midsummer Night’s Dream, Act 1, sc. 1, ll. 238ff (1.1.238-245) (1605)

Sen. Lindsey Graham: "I am really outraged that my private cell phone and my official phone were subpoenaed without cause."

Rep. Mary Gay Scanlon: "You're upset that a court decided there was legal justification to subpoena your phone records in a criminal investigation. And you think that entitles you to be paid millions of dollars by taxpayers?"
