Summary

This quote highlights the idea that true love is not limited by time or the need for variety. Comparing it to a violinist who only needs one violin to play a specific piece of music, it suggests that a person can love one individual consistently without feeling the need for multiple romantic partners. Just as the violinist's skill and emotions can be fully expressed through one instrument, a person's love can be devoted and unwavering towards one person. This quote challenges the notion of the necessity for infidelity or constantly changing partners in a romantic relationship.
