I'm twenty-seven,
she's seventeen.
"Blind Cupid,
lame Cupid,
both blind and lame Cupid
said, Love this girl,"

Cupid and my Campaspe play'd
At cards for kisses—Cupid paid:
He stakes his quiver, bow, and arrows,
His mother's doves, and team of sparrows;
Loses them too; then down he throws
The coral of his lips, the rose
Growing on 's cheek (but none knows how);
With these, the crystal of his brow,
And then the dimple of his chin:
All these did my Campaspe win.
At last he set her both his eyes—
She won, and Cupid blind did rise.
O Love! has she done this for thee?
What shall, alas! become of me?

 
John Lyly
 

Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind,
And therefore is wing'd Cupid painted blind.

 
William Shakespeare
 

Largo: "This scene is saying, 'I am lame.' "
"This scene is saying, 'I am really lame.' "
"This scene says, 'This is the lamest thing that ever crawled out of the lamest hole on the planet where all lameness was originally spawned in the known universe.' "
Piro: "And having a girl break your arm in three places wasn't lame?"
Largo: "Nah, that was cool."

Cupid draw back your bow
And let your arrow go
Straight to my lover's heart for me
For me...
Cupid please hear my cry
And let your arrow fly
Straight to my lover's heart for me.

 
Sam Cooke
 

Saying 'I notice you're a nerd' is like saying, 'Hey, I notice that you'd rather be intelligent than be stupid, that you'd rather be thoughtful than be vapid, that you believe that there are things that matter more than the arrest record of Lindsay Lohan. Why is that?' In fact, it seems to me that most contemporary insults are pretty lame. Even 'lame' is kind of lame. Saying 'You're lame' is like saying 'You walk with a limp.' Yeah, whatever, so does 50 Cent, and he's done all right for himself.
