Quote by Cassandra Clare

To love is to destroy. To be loved is to be the one destroyed.

To love is to destroy. To be loved is to be the one destroye

Summary

This quote suggests that love has the power to both destroy and be destructive. When we love someone deeply, it can lead us to make sacrifices, compromise our own desires, or even harm ourselves for the sake of the other person. Simultaneously, being the recipient of unconditional love can also be overwhelming and potentially damaging. Love's intensity and impact are such that it can dismantle both the lover and the beloved, highlighting its paradoxical nature as both a force that brings joy and happiness but also holds the potential for destruction and vulnerability.
