Quote by John Suckling

Quit, quit, for shame, this will not move: This cannot take her. If of herself she cannot love, Nothing can make her: The devil take her!


Quit, quit, for shame, this will not move: This cannot take

Summary

This quote from Shakespeare's play "The Two Gentlemen of Verona" reflects the frustration and despair of a character who realizes that he cannot make someone love him. The speaker acknowledges that no matter how hard he tries or what he does, he cannot force or manipulate someone into feeling love if they do not have those feelings on their own. With a tone of resignation, the speaker curses the person who cannot reciprocate love, accepting that it is beyond his control and perhaps even blaming them for their lack of affection.
