There exists, between people in love, a kind of capital held

Summary

This quote highlights the idea that love relationships involve a certain amount of emotional investment from each person involved. This investment is not just about experiencing positive emotions and pleasure but also about the potential for taking risks by puting their own heart on the line. It suggests that in a loving relationship, each person holds a certain "capital" of emotions and the ability to take a gamble with their vulnerability, which can either lead to a deeper connection or a potential loss.
