Quote by Francois de La Rochefoucauld
It is with an old love as it is with old age a man lives to all the miseries, but is dead to all the pleasures.
Summary
This quote suggests that as love grows old, it loses its passion and vitality. Similar to old age, where a person may experience various hardships and sufferings, love becomes a source of unhappiness and brings about sadness and difficulties rather than joy and fulfillment. The quote implies that while love may endure, it loses its ability to bring pleasure and becomes akin to a lifeless state.
