Quote by Fyodor Dostoevsky

To be in love is not the same as loving. You can be in love with a woman and still hate her.

To be in love is not the same as loving. You can be in love

Summary

This quote suggests that being infatuated or obsessed with someone, which often characterizes being "in love," does not necessarily equate to genuinely loving them. It highlights the possibility of experiencing conflicting emotions, where one may feel intense attraction or affection for someone while simultaneously harboring negative feelings or resentment towards them. In such cases, love encompasses a deeper connection and involves compassion, understanding, and care beyond the mere intensity of fleeting emotions.
