Quote by Friedrich Nietzsche

Man liebt zuletzt seine Begierde, und nicht das Begehrte.

Man liebt zuletzt seine Begierde, und nicht das Begehrte.

Summary

This quote suggests that ultimately, humans tend to love their own desires and cravings rather than the actual object or person they desire. It implies that our love is often driven by our own emotions and wants rather than a genuine connection or understanding of the thing we desire. In other words, it emphasizes the self-centered nature of love, where our focus is on fulfilling our wants rather than truly appreciating and valuing what we desire.
