Quote by Napoleon Bonaparte

The only victory over love is flight.

The only victory over love is flight.

Summary

This quote suggests that the only way to protect oneself from the pain or hardships of love is to avoid it altogether. It implies that love has the potential to bring both joy and suffering, and the only effective defense is to run away from it. To "win" against love means evading the vulnerability and potential heartbreak it entails, but it also implies missing out on the depth of connection and growth that love can offer.

Here we are then, I was thinking, in a war to the finish between everything I love and everything I hate. Fine. We will win and they will lose. A pity that we let them pick the time and place of the challenge, but we can and we will make up for that.
