Quote by Denis de Rougemont

Love ceases to be a demon only when it ceases to be a god.

Love ceases to be a demon only when it ceases to be a god.

Summary

This quote suggests that love can have both positive and negative aspects. When love is idolized and worshipped as a god, it can become destructive and oppressive. However, when love is no longer seen as a divine force, it loses its power to control and manipulate, liberating individuals from its negative influences. In essence, the quote suggests that love can be both a force for good and evil depending on how it is perceived and treated.

Do any of us, except in our dreams, truly expect to be reunited with our hearts' deepest loves, even when they leave us only for minutes, and on the most mundane of errands? No, not at all. Each time they go from our sight we in our secret hearts count them as dead. Having been given so much, we reason, how could we expect not to be brought as low as Lucifer for the staggering presumption of our love?
