Quote by Samuel Johnson

Love is the wisdom of the fool and the folly of the wise.

Love is the wisdom of the fool and the folly of the wise.

Summary

This quote suggests that love is a paradoxical force that affects both fools and wise individuals in different ways. It implies that love can make a foolish person wise by guiding their actions with wisdom and understanding. On the other hand, love can also make wise individuals act foolishly by clouding their judgment and causing them to make irrational choices. Thus, the quote highlights the complex and unpredictable nature of love, and how it can have contrasting effects on people regardless of their level of intelligence or wisdom.
