""When I first saw you I fell in love, and you smiled, because you knew". ***Although this quote is mistakenly attributed to Shakespeare dozens of times on "PINTEREST", Actually This is from Verdi's opera, 'Falstaff' (1893) which is based on Shakespeare's, 'The Merry Wives of Windsor' (and some material from 'King Henry IV'). Arrigo Boito was the librettist. "When I first saw you I fell in love, and you smiled, because you knew" is the English translation of, "Come ti vidi m’innamorai, e tu sorridi perchè lo sai", in Act 2, Scene 2 of the opera. Character: Fenton addressing Nannetta."
