My favorite line, one that I have loved since my freshman year of high school comes to me from Shakespeare's 'A Midsummer Night's Dream.' It is somewhat didactic in content I guess, but it is mainly personal.
"Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind. Therefore is winged cupid painted blind."
This line has helped me remember that it is not what is outside that counts, but what is inside. Whenever I begin to judge someone that is different than me, in looks, speech, clothing or ideas I remember this line and try to stop. It's special to me because of this, and was even my quote for my senior yearbook.
