Through Athens I am thought as fair as she. But what of that? Demetrius thinks not so. He will not know what all but he do know. And as he errs, doting on Hermiaâ€™s eyes, So I, admiring of his qualities. Things base and vile, holding no quantity, Love can transpose to form and dignity. Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind, And therefore is winged Cupid painted blind. T/F

The correct answer is true.

It is true this is part of Act I, Scene I, Athens, in one of the rooms of the palace of Theseus, of the renown play "A Midsummer Night's Dream," written by English author William Shakespeare. Helena is the character that expresses these ideas. This comedy was written in 1595 and became one of the most important and well-accepted plays of this prominent British and play-writer.
