“Let me not to the marriage of true minds / Admit impediments.”

Permalink: William Shakespeare

About this quote

The sonnet opens with the language of a wedding ceremony and then refuses to let the marriage go anywhere else. The impediment Shakespeare rejects is the change that time and loss bring, which he goes on to argue is not love at all.
