Quote by Lord 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.

Lovers may be - and indeed generally are - enemies, but they

Summary

This quote suggests that while lovers may often have conflicts and disagreements, they cannot truly be friends. This is because there will always be jealousy and self-interest present in their relationship. The nature of romantic love involves passion and possession, which can create a dynamic of rivalry rather than friendship. Friendship, on the other hand, is built on trust, selflessness, and mutual support, qualities that may be compromised in the intensity of a romantic relationship.
