Quote by William Shakespeare

As soon go kindle fire with snow, as seek to quench the fire of love with words.


As soon go kindle fire with snow, as seek to quench the fire

Summary

This quote suggests that love, once ignited, can't be easily extinguished by mere words. It compares trying to quench the fire of love with using snow to kindle a fire – an impossible task. Just as snow cannot fuel a fire, words are powerless in stifling the intense passion and emotional connection associated with love. Love is a force that burns brightly, stubbornly enduring even in the face of verbal attempts to diminish it.
