Quote by Aphra Behn

Love ceases to be a pleasure when it ceases to be a secret.

Love ceases to be a pleasure when it ceases to be a secret.

Summary

This quote suggests that the pleasure we derive from love exists only when it remains a secret between two individuals. Once love becomes public or known by others, the enjoyment associated with it diminishes. The quote implies that a sense of secrecy adds excitement, mystery, and an element of intimacy to a romantic relationship. When love becomes open or loses its secretive nature, it can potentially lose its charm and the unique pleasure it brings.
