Quote by William Penn

Love grows. Lust wastes by Enjoyment, and the Reason is, that one springs from an Union of Souls, and the other from an Union of Sense.

Summary

This quote suggests that love and lust are distinct emotions because they arise from different foundations. Love is depicted as something that grows and endures because it stems from a deep connection between souls or individuals. In contrast, lust is described as a fleeting and temporary feeling that diminishes with enjoyment. The reason for this distinction is attributed to love arising from a spiritual or emotional union, whereas lust arises solely from a physical or sensory attraction. Ultimately, this quote highlights the disparity between lasting love and transient lust based on their origins.

The evidence of the emotions, save in cases where it has strong objective support, is really no evidence at all, for every recognizable emotion has its opposite, and if one points one way then another points the other way. Thus the familiar argument that there is an instinctive desire for immortality, and that this desire proves it to be a fact, becomes puerile when it is recalled that there is also a powerful and widespread fear of annihilation, and that this fear, on the same principle proves that there is nothing beyond the grave. Such childish proofs are typically theological, and they remain theological even when they are adduced by men who like to flatter themselves by believing that they are scientific gents...
