Quote by Francois de La Rochefoucauld

The more one loves a mistress, the more one is ready to hate her.

The more one loves a mistress, the more one is ready to hate

Summary

This quote highlights the paradoxical nature of love and how intense emotions can often lead to extreme reactions. It suggests that when someone deeply loves their partner or mistress, they become more vulnerable and invested emotionally, potentially leading to a greater capacity for resentment or hatred if that love is not reciprocated or if conflicts arise. The intensity of the love may amplify the corresponding negative emotions, emphasizing the complex and sometimes contradictory aspects of human relationships.
