Summary

This quote suggests that the love experienced for famous individuals is different from ordinary love. It is described as abstract, meaning it is not grounded in specific qualities or traits of the person being loved. Instead, its intensity can be quantified, offering a mathematical means of measurement. Furthermore, this love is depicted as independent of individuals, suggesting that it is a universal and all-encompassing feeling that transcends personal connections, possibly rooted in admiration for their fame or achievements rather than a deep personal bond.
