Summary

This quote suggests that the appearance of love can be deceptive. A look of genuine love may seem alarming because it is filled with passion, intensity, and strong emotions. However, a look of deceit, although soft and gentle, can attract a lover and manipulate them to gain certain advantages or benefits. It implies that one should be cautious and not easily fall for the superficial or deceptive signs of affection.

There are no accidents, only nature throwing her weight around. Even the bomb merely releases energy that nature has put there. Nuclear war would be just a spark in the grandeur of space.
