Quote by Douglas Yates

People who are sensible about love are incapable of it.

People who are sensible about love are incapable of it.

Summary

This quote suggests that those who approach love from a sensible and rational perspective are unable to truly experience it. It implies that true love requires a certain level of irrationality, spontaneity, and emotional vulnerability. People who are too practical and calculating may overanalyze and overthink their feelings, preventing them from fully embracing the intense emotions and uncertainties that often accompany love. Therefore, the quote implies that a certain degree of irrationality or emotional impulsiveness is necessary for one to truly experience love.
