Quote by Marina Ivanova Tsvetaeva
What is the main thing in love? to know and to hide. To know about the one you love and to hide that you love. At times the hiding (shame) overpowers the knowing (passion). The passion for the hidden -- the passion for the revealed.
Summary
This quote suggests that the essence of love lies in the balance between knowing the person you love and keeping that love hidden. Sometimes the desire to hide our love (due to shame or other reasons) can overpower the intense emotion and knowledge we have about the person. It portrays the tension between the passion for the hidden, the exciting and secret aspect of love, and the passion for the revealed, the desire to openly express and showcase our affection.
