The meaning of a quote
the meaning of a quote
The quote below comes from 'This Book is Not FOR SALE' by Jarod Kintz.
“If my father were Cupid, and my mother were Helen Keller, I suppose I probably would subscribe to the notion that “Love is blind.”
This quotation is humorous.
(Am I right?)
But I cannot pinpoint why it is humorous.
It may comes from the fact that the author's father is not Cupid, who throws so many mischievous arrows that put so many in myth into agony of unrequited love, and his mother is not Helen Keller, who was blind.
So he thinks his parents regrets their marriage, that is, they are not compatible and he agrees to it with the above quote.
That is my conclusion.
Do you agree with me?
Regards.
