Quote by Thomas Fuller

Absence sharpens love, presence strengthens it.

Absence sharpens love, presence strengthens it.

Summary

This quote suggests that when two people are apart from each other, their love becomes more intense and passionate. The absence creates a longing and desire for the other person, intensifying the emotions associated with love. On the other hand, when the two individuals are together, their love is reinforced and strengthened by being in each other's presence. This suggests that both distance and reunion play important roles in the dynamics of love, allowing it to evolve and grow deeper.
