Quote by William Shakespeare

As soon go kindle fire with snow, as seek to quench the fire of love with words.

As soon go kindle fire with snow, as seek to quench the fire

Summary

This quote suggests that love, once ignited, can't be easily extinguished by mere words. It compares trying to quench the fire of love with using snow to kindle a fire â€“ an impossible task. Just as snow cannot fuel a fire, words are powerless in stifling the intense passion and emotional connection associated with love. Love is a force that burns brightly, stubbornly enduring even in the face of verbal attempts to diminish it.

For this will cure him that is sick, and rouse him that is in dumps; one that has loved, it will remember of it; one that has not, it will instruct. For there was never any yet that wholly could escape love, and never shall there be any, never so long as beauty shall be, never so long as eyes can see. But help me that God to write the passions of others; and while I write, keep me in my own right wits.

Having countries act on a hair trigger - where they can't afford to be second to strike - the potential for a miscalculation or a nuclear war through inadvertence is simply too high.
