Quote by John Gay

Follow love and it will flee, flee love and it will follow thee.

Follow love and it will flee, flee love and it will follow t

Summary

This quote implies that the outcome of love often depends on our actions and attitudes towards it. If we pursue love too eagerly or desperately, it tends to elude us. However, if we distance ourselves or show indifference towards love, it has a tendency to pursue and find us. It suggests that a balanced approach, neither obsessing over nor avoiding love, is the key to attracting and nurturing genuine connections.
