Quote by Pierre Corneille

Reason and love are sworn enemies.

Reason and love are sworn enemies.

Summary

This quote suggests that reason and love are in conflict with each other and cannot coexist peacefully. Reason is associated with logical thinking, objectivity, and analysis, requiring a detached and rational approach. On the other hand, love is often associated with intense emotions, subjectivity, and a certain degree of irrationality. The quote proposes that these two forces are diametrically opposed, as reason seeks to understand and control, while love often defies logic and embraces vulnerability. It implies that embracing one of these forces might require sacrificing the other, highlighting the tension between the head and the heart in decision-making and human experiences.

And government has a role in making them, at the end of 19 years, suited to be upright, trustworthy repositories of popular sovereignty.
