Summary

This quote suggests that love is an elusive and abstract concept that cannot be fully explained or proven. Love is seen as something that transcends definitions and rational explanations, much like other significant aspects of life. It highlights the intangible nature of love and emphasizes that it is experienced rather than proven or quantified. Just as it is impossible to provide concrete evidence for the importance of certain things in life, love too remains subjective and unexplainable in its entirety.

And yet we naturally fear most to offend what we most Love. What we Love, we
