Quote by Paulo Coelho

Anyone who loves in the expectation of being loved in return is wasting their time.

Anyone who loves in the expectation of being loved in return

Summary

This quote suggests that it is pointless to love someone solely for the hope of receiving love in return. It implies that love should be given freely without expectations or conditions. If one's motivation for loving another is rooted in the desire to be loved back, it diminishes the authenticity and sincerity of their love. Love should be unconditional and pure, rather than a transactional exchange where one expects something in return.
