Quote by George Byron
Lovers may be and indeed generally are enemies, but they never can be friends, because there must always be a spice of jealousy and a something of Self in all their speculations.
Summary
This quote suggests that while lovers may experience intense emotions and passion, they are inherently bound to be enemies rather than friends. The presence of jealousy and self-interest prevents them from developing a genuine friendship. The quote implies that love inherently involves a degree of competition and ego, which hinders the possibility of a purely platonic, equal relationship between two partners.
