Quote by Friedrich Nietzsche

Whoever extolls him as a God of love, does not think highly enough of love itself.

Whoever extolls him as a God of love, does not think highly

Summary

This quote suggests that labeling someone as a "God of love" undermines the true essence and power of love. It implies that portraying love as something elevated to the level of deification diminishes its significance and limits its potential. The quote encourages individuals to appreciate love for its intrinsic value and multifaceted nature, rather than attributing it solely to a divine being. Love should be revered and celebrated on its own merits, without diminishing its importance by confining it to the realm of divinity.

We've lost sight of the fact that people have preferences.
