Quote by Charles Caleb Colton

Love lives on hope, and dies when hope is dead It is a flame which sinks for lack of fuel.

Love lives on hope, and dies when hope is dead It is a flame

Summary

This quote suggests that love is sustained by hope, but when hope diminishes or disappears, love cannot survive. Love is depicted here as a flame that eventually fades and dies out without the fuel of hope. It implies that love requires optimism, anticipation, and belief in the possibility of a positive outcome in order to thrive and flourish. Once hope is extinguished, love loses its vitality and struggles to persist. Thus, the quote emphasizes the close relationship between love and hope, highlighting the importance of maintaining hope to sustain and nurture love.
