Quote by Fyodor Dostoevsky

To be in love is not the same as loving. You can be in love with a woman and still hate her.

To be in love is not the same as loving. You can be in love

Summary

This quote suggests that being infatuated or obsessed with someone, which often characterizes being "in love," does not necessarily equate to genuinely loving them. It highlights the possibility of experiencing conflicting emotions, where one may feel intense attraction or affection for someone while simultaneously harboring negative feelings or resentment towards them. In such cases, love encompasses a deeper connection and involves compassion, understanding, and care beyond the mere intensity of fleeting emotions.

There will always be a part of you that misses her. You'll see something that reminds you of her and want to tell her about it, only to realize she's not there anymore. Then you'll feel her loss all over again. (Ravyn) You're not helping me, Ravyn. (Jack)I know, buddy. But you will eventually make peace with yourself, and that's the most important thing. Eventually, you'll even be able to smile again when you think about her. (Ravyn)

If I were to try to read, much less answer, all the attacks made on me, this shop might as well be closed for any other business. I do the very best I know how -- the very best I can. And I mean to keep on doing it to the end. If the end brings me out all right, what is said against me will not amount to anything. If the end brings me out all wrong, ten angels swearing I was right would make no difference.
