Love isn't an emotion or an instinct--it's an art.

Love isn't an emotion or an instinct--it's an art.

Summary

This quote suggests that love goes beyond being merely an emotion or a natural instinct. It implies that love is not simply something we feel, but rather something that requires conscious effort, skill, and practice. Just like an artist immerses themselves in their craft and hones their skills to create something beautiful, love requires dedication, patience, and a continuous effort to cultivate and nurture meaningful connections with others. Love, then, can be seen as a deliberate act, an art form that demands creativity, understanding, and the ability to express and receive genuine affection.
