what is shakespeare saying about love in this quote"I wish my father looked but with my eyes"-- i get that it means that everyone has their own perspective on how they see one another but is there any other idea?
Answered by Writeacher
What play, act, and scene is this from?

Out of context, it's almost impossible to tell.

How about taking "but with my eyes" to mean "the way I see them" (Lysander & Demetrius).

Oops.
A Midsummer Night's Dream.
Act 1, scene 1 (Hermia)
