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.

The split in America, rather than simply economic, is between those who embrace reason, who function in the real world of cause and effect, and those who, numbed by isolation and despair, now seek meaning in a mythical world of intuition, a world that is no longer reality-based, a world of magic.
