Friendship is a prodigal, but love is a miser.

Summary

This quote suggests that friendship is often given freely and abundantly, without reservations or selfishness. It is compared to a prodigal, which refers to someone who spends and gives excessively.

This implies that love may be more cautious or hesitant, possibly due to fear of being hurt or betrayed. The quote highlights the contrasting nature of these two emotions and how they differ in their expression.

I have been a hundred times on the point of killing myself, but still was fond of life. This ridiculous weakness is perhaps one of our worst instincts.
