Quote by Toni Morrison

Love is never any better than the lover. Wicked people love wickedly, violent people love violently, weak people love weakly, stupid people love stupidly, but the love a free man is never safe.

Love is never any better than the lover. Wicked people love

Summary

This quote suggests that the quality of love is determined by the nature of the individual who gives it. It implies that a person's capacity to love is influenced by their own character and actions. Wicked, violent, weak, and stupid individuals are said to exhibit these qualities in their love as well. However, the quote also emphasizes that the love of a free individual carries an inherent risk, insinuating that true love requires the ability to freely express oneself, be vulnerable, and potentially face uncertainty or danger in the pursuit of genuine love.
