Quote by Honore de Balzac

Economized love is never real love

Economized love is never real love

Summary

This quote suggests that love cannot truly exist when it is constrained and treated as a commodity. When love is approached with an economized mindset, where it is measured and quantified, it loses its essence and authenticity. True love is believed to be generous, selfless, and unconditional, transcending any economic calculation. It emphasizes the idea that love cannot be limited by calculations or treated as a transaction, but rather, it flourishes in its purest form, free from the constraints of the economic world.
