"Blindness is a bar to love, because a blind man cannot see anything upon which his mind can reflect immoderately, so love cannot rise in him" (Capellanus, 33).
I found this quote to be significant because I found it very absurd. I have always heard the message that love is blind. Well according to Chapter 5, love just seems very shallow as they placed boundaries on who is fit to love. Love has no boundaries to an extent, and there are many other factors to consider to fall in love with someone which is not just age and appearance.
