Summary

This quote suggests that love has the potential to be destructive, both for the one who loves and for the one who is loved.

Love can be a powerful force that can have both positive and negative consequences, highlighting the complexities of human relationships.

Young women today feel vulnerable to judgment; if a harsh sentence is passed (or even suspected or projected), it is not her reputation that suffers so much as the stability of her moral universe.
